On Thursday, Amazon MGM finally shared the first trailer for the live-action Masters of the Universe epic and Galitzine is buff, bodied and bronzed to within an inch of his life.
He’s more pumped than a circuit queen on an Atlantis gay cruise.
Masters of the Universe
With his feathered blonde locks, a crop top harness, leather skirt and a pair of sickening boots, He-Man is ready to battle Skeletor …or rule the Horse Meat Disco afters!
Directed by Travis Knight, the sci-fi action fantasy film follows Galitzine as sword-swinging muscleman Prince Adam/He-Man who was sent to Earth as a child. After toiling in a boring corporate American job as an adult, Adam, whose pronouns we are shown are he/him (obviously a joke in reference to his character’s name, but it’s sure to get the red hat mob in a tizzy), returns to his homeland of Eternia in order to save it from destruction by Skeletor.
Jared Leto plays the villainous Skeletor and despite being known for his good looks and ripped physique, he’s completely hidden under prosthetics and CGI.
Is that you, Jared?
The trailer ends with an intense fight between He-Man and Skeletor that looks more like a video game than any actual live-action. But we digress…
Joining Galitzine and Leto are Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-At-Arms, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress, James Purefoy as King Randor, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena, Sasheer Zamata as Suzie, and Kristen Wiig as the voice of Roboto.
Masters of the Universe will be released in theaters on June 5th.
Muscle transformation
Over the last 18 months, Galitzine had been sharing updates of his workout regime as he bulked up for the larger-than-life role.
“There’s been a lot of eating and weightlifting, a lot of stunts,” he told W magazine last year.
“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.”
Hello, arm!
While his dedication to getting huge never wavered, maintaining the intense fitness schedule and diet left little time for much else.
“I don’t drink alcohol, eat little, and lift weights every day. My job demands so much energy that I hardly have time for anything else. Instead of going out, I’ve become a homebody,” he told GQ Germany.
“But to be honest, I’m getting tired of lifting weights.”
Since finishing production on Masters of the Universe, Galitzine has been able to return to a more manageable schedule.
And with filming on the Red, White and Blue sequel commencing, it appears Galitzine has traded the yoked superhero musculature for his royally fit physique.
Earlier this week, he and Taylor Zakhar Perez announced production had begun on Red, White and Royal Wedding.
Looking handsome as ever, the duo clarified their characters wouldn’t be getting married as the title referred to the nuptials of Prince Henry’s younger sister Beatrice.
There’s always hope for the trilogy!
