Amazon Studios and director Travis Knight have wrapped filming in the UK on the He-Man Masters of the Universe movie.
Various actors have been confirming on social media that they have finished filming, including Camila Mendes who stars as Teela, and with that have come teases for the characters they are playing including Trap Jaw and Moss Man, and we may possibly have a look at Man-At-Arms.
Masters of the Universe is set for a June 5, 2026 release date. We’ve seen one official tease of Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man with that first poster (see below). Thanks to those set pics and video, we at least have an indication where the movie is headed, which appears to be Earth and Eternia.

Trap Jaw tease
We actually get a first look at Trap Jaw, who is played by Sam C. Wilson. In his social media post about having finished filming, he tagged Patt Foad, an Emmy Award winning makeup artist and sculptor who also worked on the designs for The Last Of Us creatures.
“Today I wrapped on Masters of the Universe. I trained hard for this and set out to bring something unique to the role, while honoring the fans of the original material. It’s been an absolute blast,” said Wilson. “Huge thanks to @barriegower and the BGFX team, @pattfoad, @mikebyrnefx, and everyone who helped bring Trap Jaw to life. Shoutout to my stunt double @miles_ley and to @nicholasgalitzine for being a worthy adversary on screen.”
Wilson added, “A special thanks to @idriselba and #TravisKnight for casting me—could’ve gone with a big-name actor, but they gave me the shot. I can’t wait for you all to see it next year!”
