“You may have the power… but you’re too scared to use it.” “Trust me – I know how to use it!” Sony UK has unveiled another new international trailer for the live-action Masters of the Universe movie, an 80s throwback come to life on the big screen. Hitting theaters in June coming up! MOTU is a toy franchise that was turned into an 80s animated TV show and a 1987 movie starring Dolph Lundgren as the uber buff hero. This updated reboot of Masters of the Universe from director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back again. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor. To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela and Duncan/Man-At-Arms, and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe. The full ensemble cast features Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man / Adam Glenn, Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig as Roboto, Jared Leto as Skeletor, and Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms. The first trailer + TV spot dropped earlier this year. There’s not much new footage to catch in this latest promo but they’ll continue hyping it up for the summer anyway.

Here’s the new international trailer for Travis Knight’s epic Masters of the Universe, from YouTube:

Ten-year-old Adam Glenn (Nicholas Galitzine) crash-lands on his mother’s home planet Earth, separating him from his ancestor’s Power Sword of Grayskull. Two decades later, he takes his sword back and bears the mantle of He-Man as he battles for his home planet, Eternia, fighting against the evil forces of Skeletor (Jared Leto) – and will embrace his true destiny. Masters of the Universe is directed by American producer / filmmaker Travis Knight, director of the movies Kubo and the Two Strings and Bumblebee previously, who is also the CEO of Laika Animation Studios (and director of the upcoming Wildwood). The screenplay is written by Chris Butler and Aaron Nee & Adam Nee & Dave Callaham. Adapted from the Masters of the Universe franchise created by Mattel. Produced by Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Robbie Brenner, Steve Tisch, DeVon Franklin. Amazon MGM Studios will debut Knight’s Masters of the Universe movie in theaters worldwide starting June 5th, 2026 coming up in the middle of the summer. So far so good? Look like fun?
