Amazon MGM Studios will soon bring one of pop culture’s most beloved properties back to the big screen in the form of Masters of Universe.
Director Travis Knight and stars Nicholas Galitzine (wielding the sword of power) and Camila Mendes were at CinemaCon to talk about the movie.
The trio presented an exclusive scene from the movie, followed by a brand new extended trailer.
The trailer begins as Galitzine’s Adam is in the back of a cop car. A male and female police officer in the front of the car awkwardly joke about how handsome their detainee is before their car comes to a halt in a massive line of traffic.
4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up” slowly starts playing as the police officers exit the vehicle and investigate. Tons of people run in the other direction away from some unknown danger, which soon reveals itself as a massive hairy creature.
The creature is in pursuit of Adam and jumps on top of the vehicle. Adam uses his sword to break out of the cop car and flee, but he’s thrown around and beaten up by the creature.
Just in the nick of time, Camila Mendes’ Teela shows up to save Adam. Adam recognizes Teela from childhood.
The footage then transitioned to an extended trailer, depicting all sorts of fun spectacle. It’s refreshing to see a movie based on an established IP like this be unafraid and unashamed to embrace the more vibrant and even silly elements of its source material.
The plot will seemingly follow Adam as he is brought back to Eternia to save his home from the evil Skeletor. We get to hear more of Skeletor’s voice, and it becomes clear that the iconic villain is voiced by Jared Leto.
Overall, the footage looked fun and seems like it will effectively bring the world of He-Man to a new generation.
Masters of the Universe is in theaters June 5, 2026.
