Directed by Bumblebee filmmaker Travis Knight, the new adaptation appears to embrace its cartoon and action figure roots more than the 1987 film starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella. However, like its predecessor, much of the story will take place on Earth rather than Eternia. The teaser image arrives shortly after leaked set photos revealed a more grounded version of Prince Adam, sparking speculation among fans.
Joining Galitzine in the star-studded cast are Jared Leto as Skeletor, Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, and Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress. With a powerhouse cast and a director known for action-packed storytelling, Masters of the Universe is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fantasy films of 2026.
Fans of the franchise have long awaited a faithful live-action adaptation of He-Man's adventures, and this new image suggests the film will deliver on nostalgia while introducing the character to a new generation.

Larson, Collins, Quaid and Golding unite for unexpected new comedy
Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding will headline 'Close Personal Friends', a fresh comedy from Amazon MGM Studios set to begin filming in London this September. Directed by Jason Orley, best known for 'Big Time Adolescence' and frequent collaborations with Pete Davidson, the project promises a mix of celebrity satire and awkward humour. The film follows a couple on holiday in Santa Barbara who unexpectedly befriend a famous couple, leading to blurred boundaries, crossed personal lines and escalating comedic chaos. While much of the plot remains under wraps, the premise suggests a sharp, character-driven comedy centred on modern relationships and fame. Orley developed the concept with Isaac Aptaker, who later wrote the script. Aptaker is producing alongside his Walk-Up Company partner Elizabeth Berger, with Maximum Effort's Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau also attached. Orley serves as executive producer, reuniting with Aptaker and Berger after their 2022 romantic comedy 'I Want You Back'. Larson, an Academy Award winner for 'Room' and star of Marvel's 'Captain Marvel' films, recently earned multiple award nominations for her role in 'Lessons in Chemistry'. Quaid has appeared in action thrillers 'Novocaine' and 'Heads of State', while Collins continues to front Netflix's hit series 'Emily in Paris'. Golding, who rose to prominence in 'Crazy Rich Asians', is currently starring in Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen' series for Netflix. Filming is set to bring together this eclectic ensemble under Orley's direction, with anticipation building for how the story's mix of romance, fame and comedic tension will play out on screen. Early industry chatter suggests the chemistry between the four leads could be one of the film's strongest draws, with Larson and Collins expected to anchor the dynamic. If the project delivers on its promise, 'Close Personal Friends' could be one of Amazon MGM's standout comedies of 2026, combining sharp writing, big-name talent and a premise ripe for awkward hilarity.

Prime Video's Off Campus series set for 2026 release with first look revealed
Prime Video's adaptation of Elle Kennedy's best-selling Off Campus book series is officially in production, with the first season set to premiere in 2026. The announcement came from Amazon MGM Studios' head of television, Vernon Sanders, who confirmed that while no exact date is set, the series will debut next year. Based on Kennedy's 2015 novel The Deal, season one will follow the romance between Hannah Wells, a music major with a difficult past, and Garrett Graham, Briar University's star hockey player struggling to keep his grades up. Ella Bright (The Crown) and Belmont Cameli (Saved by the Bell) will lead the cast as Hannah and Garrett. Supporting roles include Antonio Cipriano as Logan, Jalen Thomas Brooks as Tucker, Stephen Kalyn as Dean, Mika Abdalla as Allie, Josh Heuston as Justin, and Khobe Clarke as Beau Maxwell. Steve Howey (Shameless) will portray Garrett's father, Phil Graham. Louisa Levy will serve as showrunner, with Temple Hill producing. Filming locations include Riverview Hospital in British Columbia, Canada. In August 2025, Prime Video released a behind-the-scenes look at Bright and Cameli during hair and makeup tests, followed by a teaser featuring the core four hockey players in Briar U gear. The series will explore themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery while depicting the lives of the university's elite hockey team and the women connected to them. If successful, future seasons may adapt the remaining Off Campus books—The Mistake, The Score, The Goal, and The Legacy—and potentially expand into Kennedy's Briar U and Campus Diaries spin-offs. Off Campus season one will stream on Prime Video in 2026.
