Nicholas Galitzine partners with Idris Elba in the new Masters of the Universe official trailer.
Based on the popular 1980s cartoon and Hasbro toy franchise, Masters of the Universe stars Galitzine as Prince Adam, who was taken away from his fantastical world of Eternia as a child. As an adult, Prince Adam returns to take his rightful place as Eternia’s leader. Elba plays one of Eternia’s forces of good, Man-At-Arms. As we see in the trailer, Man-At-Arms has had his hands full trying to keep the evil of Skeletor (Jared Leto) at bay.
