It has the potential to capture that pure “I have the power!” joy while delivering modern visuals and strong performances. Galitzine looks like he’s putting everything into the role, and the early footage sounds like pure fun.What about you — are you pumped for He-Man’s big-screen return, or do you have any worries about how they’ll handle the classic lore?
