Masters of the Universe Gets Powerful International Trailer

Sony Pictures UK has released a powerful new international trailer for their upcoming reboot of Masters Of The Universe, set for cinemas this summer, and you can watch it below!

Based on the popular toys from Mattel and the subsequent cartoon series produced by Filmation, Masters of the Universe is the first live-action film from the franchise since 1987’s version, which starred Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor.

This time around, it’s Nicholas Galitzine (Red, White & Royal Blue) who takes on the mantle of the most powerful man in the universe, who also appears for the first time on film as Prince Adam, He-Man’s alter ego, who gets seperated from the Power Sword of Grayskull on Earth and spends close to two decades trying to find it so he can return home to the mythical world of Eternia.
