The long-gestating live action adaptation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has taken a major step forward. Not only is Bumblebee director Travis Knight confirmed to helm the movie, but the film has an official release date of June 5, 2026. After being canceled at Netflix last year, Amazon MGM Studios began negotiations to bring their own Masters of the Universe live action movie to the world. The script is currently being rewritten by Knight’s long-time collaborator Chris Butler (ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings) and will be based on the initial draft penned by David Callaham and Aaron & Adam Nee.
