The movie, which is based on the universe created by Mattel in 1982 and marks the franchise's second live-action adaptation after the 1987 flick starring Dolph Lundgren, will be available to stream on the platform on 22 July.

The film's streaming release comes just 46 days after it landed in cinemas, and the quick turnaround may have something to do with the movie's poor box office performance.

Despite proving fairly popular among critics and fans, Masters of the Universe ended its run with a $113 million global box office haul - making up just over half of its reported $170m budget.

The reboot stars Red, White & Royal Blue star Nicholas Galitzine in the leading role of Prince Adam Glenn/He-Man.

Behind the camera, the reboot was directed by Travis Knight, with Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Robbie Brenner and DeVon Franklin producing, while the script was penned by Chris Butler

The film’s official synopsis reads: "Ten-year-old Prince Adam crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword, the only link to his home on Eternia.
