8 Nicholas Galitzine Movies to Watch After ‘Masters of the Universe’

The 2026 Masters of the Universe movie has made its way to streaming,

The science fantasy movie is a live-action adaptation of Mattel’s He-Man franchise, and is now available to stream on Prime Video, free to Prime subscribers. The film follows the story of Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine), who was sent to Earth as a child to escape Skeletor’s (Jared Leto) invasion of his home planet Eternia. Fifteen years later, Adam reclaims his Sword of Power and returns to his hometown to embrace his destiny as He-Man and defeat Skeletor alongside his childhood friend Teela (Camila Mendes).

The star of the film, Nicholas Galitzine, has been a name on everyone’s lips for quite some time now. Making his debut in the late 2010s, he has built a strong fan base and cemented himself as an on-screen heartthrob. If you watched Masters of the Universe and fell in love with Galitzine, you are not alone. Whether you have been following his career or just discovered him, here are eight Nicholas Galitzine movies that are must-watches.

1. Masters of the Universe was not the only new movie that Nicholas Galitzine was in this year. The Sheep Detectives is a hilarious murder mystery comedy starring… sheep? Shepherd George Hardy (Hugh Jackman) spent his time reading murder mystery novels to his flock of sheep. When he becomes a victim himself, the sheep leave the safety of their meadow to solve the mystery themselves. Galitzine’s character, Elliot, is a junior reporter and encourages the town’s only police officer to investigate the crime.

2. A complete 180 from Masters of the Universe, Bottoms is a queer satirical comedy about unpopular best friends PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) who start a high school fight club as a ploy to meet girls and lose their virginity. Galitzine plays the main antagonist, Jeff, an arrogant star football player who is dating Josie’s crush Isabelle (Havana Rose Liu). The movie is hilarious and truly leans into the raunchiness and absurdity of the plot.

4. One of Galitzine’s most well-recognized roles is Prince Henry in Red, White & Royal Blue, an adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s bestselling novel of the same name. Galitzine stars alongside Taylor Zakhar Perez in an enemies-to-lovers, secret relationship plot between the first son of the United States and the prince of England. The movie is romantic and at times heartbreaking as Henry and Alex navigate being high-profile individuals in a queer relationship.

5. Just when you thought he couldn’t get any better, he sings too! Galitzine played Prince Robert in the 2021 remake of Cinderella. Unlike previous remakes, this Cinderella is a jukebox musical and features iconic songs like “Somebody to Love,” “Material Girl,” and “Rhythm Nation.” Galitzine acts alongside Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, and Billy Porter. The movie puts a twist on the original story of Cinderella, making her an ambitious heroine who puts her dreams above a potential marriage to the prince.

6. Another musical? Yes please! In the Netflix original movie Purple Hearts, Galitzine plays a troubled Marine who agrees to marry Cassie (Sofia Carson), a struggling songwriter who is barely getting by. The two both need the financial assistance, and the marriage is strictly just business. However, the more time the two spend getting to know each other, the line between what is real and what is fake begins to blur. Unfortunately, Galitzine does not sing, but that does not mean the movie isn’t good.

7. Before there was Red, White & Royal Blue, Nicholas Galitzine was Conor Masters in the coming-of-age movie Handsome Devil. If you didn’t know that Galitzine was from London, this movie will change that. Set in an Irish boarding school, Ned (Fionn O’Shea) is relentlessly bullied for not being as rugby-obsessed as the rest of the school, but when his new roommate Conor, a rugby player, turns up, the two find ways to bond over a shared love of music. The film highlights the shared bond between two friends, as Ned struggles to find his place and Conor struggles to accept his identity. Although there is no romance, Conor and Ned’s friendship is what makes the film so special.

8. What if Nicholas Galitzine was the lead of a boy band? If you have ever asked that question, then you should watch The Idea of You. Based on Robinne Lee’s novel of the same name, the movie follows single mom Solene (Anne Hathaway) as she unexpectedly falls for the young boy band star, Hayes Campbell. If you are a true boy band lover, then you might catch a few similarities between Galitzine’s character and a certain British pop star. Still, if you ever wanted to live your self-insert fantasy vicariously through Anne Hathaway, I highly suggest watching this film.

9. The Beat Beneath My Feet is a 2014 British comedy that started it all. Galitzine stars as Tom Heath, a sullen and withdrawn teenager with dreams of being a famous musician. After discovering his neighbor, Max Stone (Luke Perry), is a famous rock star who is supposedly dead, he gets him to agree to help him reach his dreams in exchange for keeping his secret. The film explores some heavy topics and is vastly different from some of Galitzine’s more lighthearted work, but if you ever wondered where he got his start, then you should check out this film.
