Unfortunately, those He-Man Masters of the Universe rumors are right on the money as set images confirm an Earth setting for the movie.
Set pics from London have surfaced online showing actor Nicholas Galitzine wearing a pink shirt, holding what looks to be the He-Man sword — and get this – busted by the cops! Turns out Galitzine was also right about their He-Man movie being “quite different.”

Plot sounds awful
The pink shirt is an obvious nod to the animated series which depicts Prince Adam wearing pink before he transforms into the most powerful man in the universe. Galitzine also sports blondish hair, and he does look like He-Man. However, that Earth setting comes off as repulsive. This is the plot that has been going around. It’s awful:
10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe!
