Masters of the Universe (2026)

[TonyDown]

Masters of the Universe is still screening at a couple of Regal Cinemas today. 

I streamed it on Amazon Prime.

Comic book hero franchise movies are not my jam, but I do like Nicholas Galitzine.  🥰

 Found this article from Men's Health about bulking up for this role.

What a great posting.  The article is long, but it is a great read and gives me a much greater understanding and appreciation of the movie.  Ironically, we both posted about Masters of the Universe at the same time in different fora. I like your posting much better...my posting is more (ahem) focused on the visual aesthetics of Nicholas Galitzine (love the video).  😍

Watching to the end of the credits, there is a clue to expect more from this franchise.

Also, according to the Internet, Galitzine will return to reprise his role.

I wouldn't hold your breath as it lost tons of money.

Amazon MGM has a sequel strategy.   I'm indifferent.

 A more open torso harness and a skimpy loincloth would turn that around.   🥳

They did throw "us" a few coded, homoerotic lines,

especially about the sword and the loincloth,

but yeah we could use more and better loincloth shots.  😍
