Live‑action 'Masters of the Universe' film set for June 2026 with extended runtime

Amazon MGM Studios' live‑action reboot of "Masters of the Universe" is scheduled to debut in theaters on June 5, 2026. Exhibitor listings show a runtime ranging from 132 to 140 minutes, substantially longer than the 1987 film.

The cast includes Nicholas Galitzine as He‑Man, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Kristen Wiig and others. New stills reveal the design of three supporting characters—Trap Jaw (Sam C. Wilson), Fisto (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson) and Ram‑Man (Jon Xue Zhang)—crafted by costume designer Richard Sale to balance nostalgic fidelity with realistic detail.

Sale emphasized that the team avoided over‑modernizing the look, aiming instead for a grounded version that honors the original cartoons and toys while fitting the film’s medieval‑futuristic setting.
