Nicholas Galitzine and Camila Mendes brought Masters of the Universe to Berlin on Thursday, May 28, walking the red carpet at the UCI Luxe East Side Gallery cinema. Director Travis Knight joined the two leads for the stop, which follows earlier premiere events in Los Angeles, Sao Paulo, and London.
Berlin is the latest leg of a worldwide press tour that has run for more than a week ahead of the film’s theatrical debut. Galitzine plays Prince Adam / He-Man and Mendes plays Teela in the live-action adaptation, which Knight directed for Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films.
The rollout splits along regional lines. Amazon MGM Studios releases the film in U.S. theaters on June 5, while Sony Pictures International Releasing handles distribution in international markets through June, per the Amazon MGM press room. That two-track plan helps explain why the cast has spent the run-up criss-crossing premieres in Brazil, the U.K., and now Germany rather than staying anchored to a single launch city.
For heman.org readers tracking the build-up, Berlin is one more data point in an unusually long and geographically spread promotional campaign for a property that has waited close to two decades for a new big-screen outing. Critic reviews remain under embargo until June 2, so the press-tour appearances are still the main public-facing beat until then.
