Scrapped Netflix Live-Action Masters Of The Universe Movie Saved By Amazon For 2026 Release

“He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” famously got its start as a toy line first, but has since expanded into a full-fledged franchise with shows, spin-offs, comic books, and so much more. As of publication, no actor is currently attached to play He-Man/Prince Adam, and based on the description of the film’s plot, there will likely be multiple actors sharing the part based on age. Check out the film’s official synopsis below:

“‘Masters of the Universe’ introduces a 10-year-old Prince Adam, who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword — the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe!”

Following the screenplay’s initial drafts from David Callaghan and Aaron and Adam Nee, Laika filmmaker Chris Butler (“ParaNorman,” “Kubo and the Two Strings,” “Missing Link”) will write the screenplay. Mattel Films’ Robbie Brenner, Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch are producing the film in partnership with Amazon MGM.
