Attention, He-Man fans, because Nicholas Galitzine just dropped a look on the set of the new He-Man film that’s giving us life—and it’s not just the power of Grayskull. In a set photo that’s been making waves, the actor, who’s playing the iconic Prince Adam, is rocking a pink long-sleeve shirt. Yes, you read that right: pink. It’s giving us He-Man meets high-fashion, and we are absolutely living for it.
A New He-Man for the Modern Era
Let’s be real: He-Man has always been a bit of a sword-and-sorcery power fantasy, but what if we told you the next big thing in the universe of Eternia is also serving up soft, colorful realness? That’s right, the reimagining of the classic ’80s series is already breaking new ground. We all know He-Man as the ultimate muscle man with a magical sword, but now he’s also a style icon in the making—thanks to Galitzine’s effortlessly chic take on the role.
Gone are the days of rigid, tough-guy armor. Enter the age of He-Man in pink long sleeves, where the only thing stronger than his biceps is his ability to pull off fashion choices that make us say, “Yes, this is the hero I need.”
Pink Is the New Power
Let’s be honest, the true power of Grayskull is knowing you can rock a pastel hue and still save the world. Nicholas Galitzine, known for his roles in Purple Hearts and The Craft: Legacy, has been serving us a healthy dose of boy-next-door charm—and now, he’s throwing a little campy flair into the mix. That pink long-sleeve? It’s practically a love letter to those of us who know that being a hero doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your wardrobe.
We’ve all seen He-Man’s buff physique, but now we’re getting a deeper look into what it takes to wear the crown. Turns out, it’s a great set of abs—and knowing how to look fabulous while wielding a sword. Prince Adam/He-Man’s journey of self-discovery might just include a whole new layer of queer-coded heroism—and we’re so here for it.
The Bulk-Up Debate: To Flex or Not to Flex?
Of course, not everyone is fully on board with Galitzine’s approach to the role—especially when it comes to the actor’s bulk-up for the part. Fans of the original He-Man series will recall that the 1980s version of Prince Adam had muscles that could rival the Hulk. So when it was revealed that Galitzine had been hitting the gym hard for the role, the internet had…let’s say, mixed feelings.

Some fans praised the actor’s commitment to building the physicality required for the role, noting that a little muscle never hurt anyone (especially when wielding a sword that size). Others, however, raised eyebrows, saying that He-Man’s iconic massive bulk shouldn’t overshadow the more subtle charisma that Galitzine brings to the character. Was it necessary for him to get so jacked, they wondered? Does the bulk-up distract from the emotional depth the actor is known for?
The jury’s still out, but one thing’s for sure: whether he’s flexing in the gym or flexing his acting chops, Galitzine is undoubtedly committed to making his version of He-Man unforgettable—pink shirt and all.
Galitzine’s Role: A Slice of Queer Magic
For those who’ve been keeping up with Galitzine’s career, it’s clear he’s not just your average leading man. The actor has a knack for playing characters who wrestle with their identity—and his portrayal of He-Man could very well tap into a whole new spectrum of queerness. Is this the He-Man we’ve been waiting for? One who’s not afraid to balance power with a little pink fabulousness? Absolutely.
And let’s not forget that He-Man is about being true to yourself—whether you’re throwing hands with Skeletor or just throwing on a comfy pink sweater. This portrayal of Prince Adam could be the one we never knew we needed, blending classic heroism with a refreshing splash of color. And let’s be real, nothing says “I’m the most powerful man in the universe” like looking fabulous while you do it.
What’s Next? An Epic Queer Renaissance
So, what’s next for our new He-Man? With Galitzine in the lead, it’s safe to say the movie will be full of unexpected moments that combine strength, heart, and a touch of glam. Fans are already speculating that this version of the iconic hero is going to be anything but predictable—and we can’t wait to see where the journey takes us. Will there be more pink? Will we see more playful, campy moments that make us want to chant “The Power of Fabulous”? We certainly hope so.
As the He-Man universe gets a modern-day makeover, one thing’s for sure: Nicholas Galitzine is giving us a queer-coded hero we can root for—who knows that looking good is half the battle. Stay tuned, because this He-Man is about to slay.
