Amazon MGM Studios removed the veil of the film planned by director Travis Knight by showing a sizzling coil that showed the actors and creative collaborators on the set, the first time they were seen in their costumes.

The details of the plot have not been revealed, although it is known that Knight makes a scenario of Chris Butler based on a story by Aaron Nee, Adam Nee and Dave Callaham.

Knight, Galitzine and Mendes launched the sizzle, recorded from the London set, when they took turns explaining that they team up to create a “epic” film with characters to define the ladder. Knight explains that his passion for the universe dates back to childhood or “almost my whole life”. So much so that he “lived and breathed” the story and even had a he-man haircut.

The coil featuring a large part of the filmmaker’s creative team, including producer Jason Blumenthal, who declared that the project marks an “rebirth of this incredible world”, adding that “the scale is massive”.

Other shots showed a rigorous formation of galitzine which included the game of sword and the weight lifting. “He transforms, it’s incredible to watch,” said Blumenthal. The coil ended with a close-up of Galitzine in its He-Man costume with the blond locks that attracted the applause of the crowd.
