Nicholas Galitzine, playing the most epic role in the universe, just gave fans a sneak peek at Masters of the Universe, the live-action movie where he transforms into Prince Adam of Eternia and the legendary He-Man.

โ€œWell, thatโ€™s a wrap on Masters of the Universe,โ€ Galitzine captioned the Instagram post. โ€œIt has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He-Man. Itโ€™s been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it.โ€

He continued, โ€œThereโ€™s not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie weโ€™ve made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work.โ€

The behind-the-scenes snap shows Galitzineโ€™s silhouette from behind, rocking He-Manโ€™s iconic Power Sword, battle shorts, boots, and those signature gauntlets.

The Idea of You heartthrob totally transformed his body for the role, as he previously shared with W Magazine. โ€œIโ€™m eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work Iโ€™m doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day, which is quite surprising,โ€ he said in January.
