Fans are eagerly awaiting the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of Masters of the Universe, and while we still have a while to go before it hits theaters, Nicholas Galitzine and Camila Mendes took to Instagram to share that filming on the project has officially wrapped!
"Well, that’s a wrap on Masters of the Universe," Galitzine wrote. "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."
Mendes expressed, "Getting to play teela has been one of the most exciting and challenging experiences of my career. the week of suspense between my final audition and getting the part was excruciating to say the least. but here i am almost a year later, a full-blown gym bro and converted redhead, wrapping up 7 incredible months of living like a london girl, eating like an athlete, and running around as a warrior woman!! grateful is an understatement. can’t share much at this stage, so i’ll be counting down the days until we get to show you more."
The movie is based on the popular Mattel toy line and will also star Jared Leto, Idris Elba, Morena Baccarin, James Purefoy, Alison Brie, Charlotte Riley, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Sam C. Wilson, Hafthor Bjornsson, Kojo Attah, Sasheer Zamata, Jon Xue Zhang, and Christian Vunipola.
Galitzine has opened up about the physical transformation, telling 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. I will eventually go into what’s called the cutting phase, where I'm going to be starved and so rude to everyone. I can only apologize for the person I'm going to become in a few months’ time."
Travis Knight's Masters of the Universe will be released on June 5, 2026.
