The London-born star wrote on Instagram: "Well, that's a wrap on Masters of the Universe. It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He Man.
"It's been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There's not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we've made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work."
Galitzine previously confirmed via a post on TikTok that filming had wrapped on the movie.
He wrote on the video-sharing app: "No ships left to fly that's a wrap on masters of the universe!! (sic)"
Set to release in 2026, the Travis Knight-directed movie is based on a script written by Chris Butler. The film boasts a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Idris Elba, Morena Baccarin, Alison Brie and Charlotte Riley.
Galitzine previously revealed that he had overhauled his lifestyle in preparation for playing He-Man.
The actor admitted that he was consuming around "4,000 calories a day" as part of his preparations for the role.
He told W Magazine: "There's been a lot of eating and weightlifting, a lot of stunts."
"I'm eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work I'm doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day, which is quite surprising. This is the fun part."
Galitzine ultimately intended to cut down on his eating, explaining that it would likely cause his mood to change.

'Skibidi' and 'tradwife': Social media words added to Cambridge dictionary
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu" and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said Monday (Aug 18). Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.
