Galitzine: He-Man's Harness Like Sex Scenes

Actor Nicholas Galitzine's career is scaling new heights as he prepares to embody He-Man in the live-action Masters of the Universe movie. The film, slated for a June 5th, 2026 release, has fans eager to see Galitzine's transformation into the iconic character. Galitzine himself has drawn an unexpected parallel between the demands of his He-Man costume and the experience of filming intimate scenes.

Speaking about his role, Galitzine described He-Man's costume as essentially a harness, leaving him minimally clothed on set. He told Empire that while both love scenes and being scantily clad require vulnerability in front of a crew, the feeling can become empowering once initial nerves subside. This perspective is informed by his extensive experience with intimate scenes in previous projects.

Galitzine has previously showcased his ability to perform in such scenes in "Red, White and Royal Blue" and "The Idea of You." He even filmed four sex scenes in a single day for the historical drama "Mary & George." The first look at Masters of the Universe suggests a faithful adaptation, with Galitzine sporting the character's signature skirt and harness, highlighting his physical preparation for the role.
