The power of Eternia is in the hands of a new hero. The concept trailer for He-Man has just been released, and Chris Hemsworth is stepping into the iconic role of Prince Adam, who will transform into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. This live-action reboot promises to bring the timeless fantasy saga to life with breathtaking visuals, intense action, and a story that is both epic and emotional.
Directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit), He-Man takes us to the magical world of Eternia, a planet on the brink of destruction.

The teaser opens with Prince Adam (Hemsworth) in the midst of a peaceful moment, looking out over the vast, magical lands of Eternia. The sound of thunder rumbles in the distance as Adam places his hand on his chest, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. His voiceover echoes: “The time for peace is over.
