leaked word from test screenings<\/a> has suggested we can expect cartoon-accurate costumes for the movie’s leads.\u00a0<\/p>\n“I think there is a modernity to him that is really interesting,” He-Man actor\u00a0Nicholas Galitzine said in a recent interview.\u00a0“It feels like who he is as a person is a handshake between what traditional masculinity and femininity are.”<\/p>\n
“There was something incredibly human about the story, and so humorous, which are two things that I really look for as an actor. But I really am extremely excited for people to see this movie and to meet Adam.”<\/p>\n
Calling Masters of the Universe’s action sequences and set pieces “incredible,” the actor added, “There\u2019s a really human story in there as well. I think if I\u2019m going to do something with that level of spectacle, I have to have that as well.”<\/p>\n
