What happens

Masters of the Universe (also known as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in some territories) is a 2026 American sword-and-sorcery comedy film based on the media franchise by Mattel. It is the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film. It was directed by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler, Aaron Nee, Adam Nee, and David Callaham. Nicholas Galitzine stars as Prince Adam / He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Morena Baccarin, and Idris Elba. Its plot follows Prince Adam as he returns to his home planet, Eternia, to take his destiny as He-Man, and save his home from the evil forces of Skeletor. The production was announced in 2009 by Sony Pictures Entertainment with Escape Artists producing. Following multiple writer, director and casting changes, the rights were transferred to Netflix in 2022 and then bought by Amazon MGM Studios in 2024. Principal photography occurred in London, England, from January to June 2025. Masters of the Universe premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California on May 18, 2026, and was released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios on June 5, 2026, and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office, grossing $113 million worldwide against a $170–200 million production budget. A sequel is in development. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
