'Masters of the Universe' First Look Drops Ahead of Trailer

The Power of Grayskull is nearly upon us, as Amazon has released the first official teaser from Masters of the Universe ahead of tomorrow’s full trailer debut.

Watch below.

First Footage Teases Classic He-Man Transformation

The 30-second teaser reveals Nicholas Galitzine’s Adam surrounded by his allies — including Camila Mendes as Teela, and a fierce CGI-rendered Battle Cat — before showcasing him raising the Sword of Power, teasing his transformation into He-Man.

Also featured are tech-heavy suits, futuristic ships, and blaster-heavy action, giving the world of Eternia a high-budget sci-fi aesthetic.

Idris Elba is also shown off as Man-At-Arms.

Amazon’s teaser makes it clear this is a modern reimagining that still pays visual homage to the 1980s source material, with costumes and props closely aligned with the franchise’s toy and cartoon legacy.
