Bollywood Hungama confirms Masters of the Universe will get an IMAX release on June 5

Bollywood Hungama reported on Monday, May 19 that Amazon MGM Studios’ Masters of the Universe will receive an IMAX release on its June 5 opening day, citing the trade outlet’s own reporting on the slate. The same article, written by Fenil Seta, confirmed that Ram Charan’s Telugu actioner Peddi will release in IMAX a day earlier on June 4, citing a May 19 X post from Preetham Daniel, IMAX Vice President for India, SE Asia, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Masters of the Universe IMAX confirmation contradicts a November 2025 HE-MANIA report that the film had not been slated for IMAX presentation in 2026, with the outlet at the time attributing the gap to the tight scheduling window between IMAX runs of The Mandalorian and Grogu (May 22) and Toy Story 5 (June 19). Bollywood Hungama’s report describes the format change as positioning two “mass-appealing films, of diverse genres and film industry, on the giant premium format in the first week of June.”

IMAX has not issued its own English-language release listing Masters of the Universe in the format. Neither Amazon MGM Studios nor IMAX Corporation has issued a joint press release confirming domestic IMAX screens for the film as of this writing. Sony Pictures Releasing International handles the film’s overseas distribution outside North America.

The Travis Knight-directed Masters of the Universe stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Kristen Wiig as the voice of Roboto, with Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, James Purefoy, Johannes Haukur Johannesson, and Dolph Lundgren in a cameo. The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 5, 2026, with early access screenings on June 3.
