Earlier this summer, the new big-screen adaptation of Masters of the Universe hit cinemas. Looking very much like a mash-up of Marvel’s Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy, Nicholas Galitzine stars as He-Man in this box office bomb that still scored generally positive reviews from critics.
Now looking for redemption on streaming, the fantasy action comedy co-starring Idris Elba, Jared Leto and Alison Brie has landed on Amazon Prime Video. Quite the turnaround considering the film only debuted on the big screen in June.
The film’s official synopsis reads: “In MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, Director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.”
Masters of the Universe is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
