Galitzine, who announced his casting as He-Man in May 2024, takes over the role from Dolph Lundgren, who portrayed the character in a 1987 live-action film.
In a December interview, Galitzine reflected on the challenges of preparing for the role, describing his training as “the hardest thing I’ve ever done” and a “daily challenge.” He balanced this rigorous physical training while filming other projects, such as the romance 100 Nights of Hero. He stated, “There is something incredibly empowering about committing to something so heavily. I think it would be insincere for me to say that it was easy.”
Masters of the Universe will hit theaters on June 5.
