There’s A New He-Man, But Apparently Masters Of The Universe Will Still Include Dolph Lundgren In A Surprise Role

There are three months to go until Masters of the Universe is released on the 2026 movies schedule and introduces the world to Nicholas Galitzine’s version of He-Man. The last time this franchise was adapted for film was the 1987 movie of the same name, where Dolph Lundgren brought He-Man brought to life. Nearly 40 years later, rumor has it that Lundgren will also be present in this reboot, but his role is rather surprising.

No, the new Masters of the Universe isn’t getting in on the multiverse craze by having Nicholas Galitzine’s He-Man meet his older counterpart from another universe. Instead, He-Mania reports that Dolph Lundgren will instead play someone whom Galitzine’s Adam interacts with at the fitness gym he works out in. The outlet says that Lundgren’s character will give Adam some “some life advice,” and when their conversation ends, he’ll tell the young man “Good journey.” That’s the same thing that Teela and Man-At-Arms said to Julie Winston in the 1987 movie.
