The iconic 1980s franchise He‑Man has returned to the big screen with the live‑action film “Masters of the Universe” (Spanish title “Amos del Universo”). The movie debuted on June 4 2024 in Latin America and on June 5 in the United States. It is a joint production of Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films, directed by Travis Knight.
