Nicholas Galitzine has the powerrrrrrrrr!

After starring in a string of hits — including *Red, White & Royal Blue*, *Bottoms*, *Purple Hearts*, and *The Idea of You* — the British actor is taking on his biggest role yet (well, in terms of muscles), playing the iconic He-Man in the upcoming *Masters of the Universe.*

Directed by Travis Knight (*Bumblebee*, *Kubo and the Two Strings*), the Amazon MGM and Mattel Studios movie, based on the classic 1980s toy brand that spawned comic books and a popular animated series, hits theaters on June 5.

After Galitzine previously teased his transformation with a silhouetted on-set photo, we now have our first official look at the flick with a new teaser trailer.**

In it, Galitzine stars as Prince Adam, son of King Randor and Queen Marlena, a former astronaut from Earth. They all reside in Castle Grayskull, which is guarded by the Sorceress, in the land of Eternia. But evil Skeletor wants to destroy Eternia and seize the powerful Sword of Grayskull, which turns Adam into He-Man. Joining him in his quest to protect Eternia are Duncan/Man-At-Arms; Duncan's adoptive daughter, Teela; Duncan's brother Malcolm/Fisto; Roboto; and Ram-Man.

Joining forces with Skeletor are Evil-Lyn, Trap Jaw, and Tri-Klops.**
