Idris Elba in Talks to Join 'Masters of the Universe' as Man-At-Arms

The live-action reboot, directed by Travis Knight, is set to release in 2026 with a star-studded cast including Nicholas Galitzine and Alison Brie.

Idris Elba is reportedly in final negotiations to play Duncan, also known as Man-At-Arms, in Amazon MGM's 'Masters of the Universe' reboot.
The film is being directed by Travis Knight, known for his work on 'Bumblebee,' with a script by Chris Butler and contributions from other writers.
Nicholas Galitzine has been cast as He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes as Teela and Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, with rumors of Jared Leto being considered for Skeletor.
'Masters of the Universe' is based on the iconic Mattel toy line and animated series from the 1980s, which has struggled with past live-action adaptations.
The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on June 5, 2026, marking a significant effort to revive the franchise for modern audiences.
