Despite quite good reviews, the Travis Knight-directed feature sadly was a financial failure at the box-office \u2013 taking in just $113.3 million worldwide on a $170 million budget.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon MGM\u2019s domestic distribution chief, Kevin Wilson, previously indicated that the film\u2019s streaming release will be very important for the film saying the film\u2019s theatrical run \u201cvalidates our holistic distribution strategy \u2013 building awareness and engagement that will carry well beyond the theatrical window.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the film, ten-year-old Adam Glenn crash-lands on his mother\u2019s home planet, Earth, separating him from his ancestor\u2019s Power Sword of Grayskull.<\/p>\n<p>Two decades later, he (Nicholas Galitzine) takes his sword back and dons the mantle of He-Man as he battles for his home planet, Eternia, against the evil forces of Skeletor (Jared Leto).<\/p>\n<p>The film also stars Idris Elba as Man at Arms, Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Kristen Wiig as Roboto, Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, James Purefoy as King Randor, Sam C.
