Los Angeles hosted the “Masters of the Universe” world premiere on May 18, with Nicholas Galitzine, Idris Elba and Camila Mendes leading the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
The event served as the main launch for the reboot before its June 5 theatrical release, turning the Hollywood venue into a branded showcase for the film.
Morena Baccarin, Alison Brie and director Travis Knight also attended, while original He-Man star Dolph Lundgren appeared among the premiere guests.
The carpet underscored the studio’s final publicity push for a major franchise revival less than three weeks before the movie reaches theaters.

Can the film satisfy original fans when its lead actors only knew the franchise through internet memes?
After 'Barbie', can this earnest reboot succeed without the same level of meta-commentary on its own brand?
