The cast of 'Masters of the Universe' is an LGBTQ+ dream, here's who they're playing
Between these hot-as-sin stars and the abundance of queer-coded characters in the original cartoon, we will be SEATED for this movie!

Between Red, White & Royal Blue star Nicholas Galitzine dropping thirst traps of his twink-to-twunk transformation, us taking a walk down memory lane to remind you which He-Man characters are the gayest, and now a cast list that is chock full of hot stars, we can safely say the Masters of the Universe film is definitely for the gays.
Not only was the original He-Man cartoon so queer-coded itâs nearly laughable to watch it now (donât tell us you donât see the chemistry between He-Man and Skeletor!), but weâve got Galitzine starring â who has made a career out of playing gay characters â and queer queens Sasheer Zamata and Alison Brie in lead roles too.
But letâs be honest, as much as we remember how campy the original cartoon was that the new live-action film is based on, we donât remember all of the characters. So who are all of these hot stars playing?
Nicholas Galitzine as He-ManSee on Instagram
Nicholas Galitzine will be playing the titular Master of the Universe, Prince Adam AKA He-Man. Considering how many gay roles Galitzine has played and how queer-coded the OG cartoon was, weâre keeping our fingers crossed for a gay He-Man. But with the way Galitzine has been bulking up for this role, no matter what, it should be full of eye candy!
Alison Brie as Evil-LynSee on Instagram
Bisexual icon Alison Brie has nabbed the role of Evil-Lyn, who is a supervillainess. As an evil witch, she uses her powers of darkness to help Skeletor as his second-in-command
Sasheer Zamata as SuzieSee on Instagram
Queer comedian and podcaster Sasheer Zamata is poised to play Suzie, a character not in the original cartoon or â80s movie. According to Menâs Health the new film gives Prince Adam a different origin story that has him crash landing on Earth as a 10-year-old and is separated from his magical Power Sword. It looks like Suzie may be one of his friends on Earth before he returns to Eternia to regain his birthright as He-Man.
Morena Baccarin as the SorceressSee on Instagram
Actress Morena Baccarin has been cast as The Sorceress of Grayskull, who uses her magic powers to watch over Castle Grayskull. In the cartoon series, the Sorceress â also known as Teela-Na â wears a campy bird headrest and winged cape, so weâre hoping this character leans Sapphic!
Camila Mendes as TeelaSee on Instagram
Riverdale star Camila Mendes is starring as Teela, daughter of the Sorceress, and a warrior goddess and the captain of the Royal Guard who helps He-Man in battle (though sheâs unaware that He-Man and Prince Adam are one and the same).
Jared Leto as SkeletorSee on Instagram
Skeletor is the main villain of the Master of the Universe franchise and is not only He-Manâs constant foe, but the two have a very gay-coded adversarial relationship. Hopefully, Jared Leto can do a better job playing the over-dramatic, campy villain than he did playing Joker.
Idris Elba as Man-at-ArmsSee on Instagram
Dreamboat Idris Elba will be playing Men-at-Arms, a crop-top armor-wearing, â70s porn âstate having, warrior who likes to take trips with Prince Adam. We canât wait to see Elba and Galitzine on screen together!
Sam C. Wilson as Trap JawSee on Instagram
Sam C. Wilson has been cast as Trap Jaw, one of Skeletorâs main henchmen. Trap Jaw was transformed into a cyborg with a metal jaw and one robot arm after losing a fight with Skeletor.
JĂłhannes Haukur JĂłhannesson as FistoâSee on Instagram
Icelandic Game of Thrones star JĂłhannes Haukur JĂłhannesson is set to play Fisto, a muscular, bearded warrior with a metal fist that can do some serious damage. But with a name like Fisto, we know what heâs really doing with that hand!
Kojo Attah as TriclopsSee on Instagram
Hunky actor Kojo Attah is playing Triclops, an inter-dimensional bounty hunter and tracker who was recruited by Skeletor to spy for him using his tri-optic visor that he got after an accident left him blind.
âJon Xue Zhang as Ram ManSee on Instagram
The Gentlemen star Jon Xue Zhang has been cast as Ram Man, who inherited his familyâs ancient mystical armor that also him to âramâ his enemies. You can take that as you will. He started out working for Skeletor before switching sides and becoming a core member of the Masters of the Universe.
Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat ManâSee on Instagram
Professional strongman and Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson will be Goat Man, a minor villain of the franchise who wears goat horns and shows off his toned abs with a little half-shirt.
Charlotte Riley as Queen MarlenaâSee on Instagram
The stunning Charlotte Riley will star as Queen Marlena, one of the rulers of Eternia alongside her husband, King Randor, and the mother of Prince Adam (He-Man) and Princess Adora (who grows up to be She-Ra).
James Purefoy as King RandorâSee on Instagram
A Knightâs Tale actor James Purefoy is starring as King Randor, the ruler of Eternia and Prince Adamâs father. With a son who looks like Nicholas Galitzine, it makes sense that both of his parents are hotties!
Christian Vunipola as HusseinâSee on Instagram
Christian Vunipola is set to play Hussein, another brand-new character that is likely to be one of Prince Adam's friends while he's on Earth.
