BTS footage of Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man debuts at CinemaCon — here's what fans think
Masters of the Universe just debuted a first look at behind-the-scenes footage for the film at CinemaCon, and fans are already clamoring for more. The live action adaptation, which is set to star beloved heartthrob Nicholas Galitzine, has had fans wary ever since the initial announcement. The initial set photos that leaked online didn't do much to assuage hesitations, but apparently the actual footage is an entirely different story. Director Travis Knight debuted a sizzle reel featuring clips of the cast and crew from the production (which is still ongoing) at CinemaCon 2025. The footage hasn't been shared online, so we're left to rely on descriptions from those in attendance, but the reactions have been extremely positive so far. DiscussingFilm said there appears to be an "emphasis on practicality and accuracy, without it looking too ridiculous or uncanny in live-action." The Hollywood Reporter recounted shots of Galitzine's "rigorous training that included sword play and weight lifting," as well as footage of the actor in costume. Reports across social media have also provided hope that this movie will be the best version of itself possible — although Galitzine fans will definitely be seated on opening night either way. — (@) "OH MY GOD. Masters of the Universe looks HEAVENLY. He-Man fans are going to eat this up." — (@) "We just got a first look at the 'MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE' movie and to say we're wowed is an understatement. The costumes and set pieces all look incredibly faithful to the toys and the production design is top notch. Travis Night seems to have cracked the code." — (@) "Just one more thing about the #AmazonMGM panel at #CinemaCon - with many considering it the best among the studios so far - is the high praise to their first look of #MastersOfTheUniverse, for following a Universal approach instead of #Disney or #Netflix, with an extremely faithful live-action adaptation visually. Many attendees changed from skepticism to excitement about this production, which hits theatres next SUMMER, on JUN 5, 2026." — (@) "Shows off characters in costume and look gorgeous and accurate in epic fashion. The sword is perfect. Sets are breathtaking. ETERNIA IS A HUGE FOCUS." — (@) "MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE looks absolutely absurd. I'm kind of in? The BTS footage we saw is so indebted to the cartoon and toys, with bright colors and expressive sets. It's definitely for the "80s guys" in the audience. I'm curious…" — (@) "who said $1billion box office for masters of the universe ???" The world has also recently been treated to a new photoshoot of Galitzine in GQ Germany, making this a truly delightful week all around for his fans. — (@) Masters of the Universe is currently slated for a June 26, 2026 release.
