The legendary Queen guitarist, Brian May, revealed that he is contributing to the soundtrack of the anticipated film «Masters of the Universe,» based on the iconic He-Man universe.
The announcement came via a post on the musician’s Instagram, where he expressed his enthusiasm with the hero’s emblematic phrase: «I have the POWER!!!!» This collaboration promises to infuse the film with Brian May’s characteristic sound, including his famous Red Special guitar, which according to him, «is everywhere» in the music.
Brian May, 78 years old, is no stranger to cinematic soundtracks. Let’s recall his work in classics like «Flash Gordon» (1980) and «Highlander» (1986), where Queen left an indelible mark with epic and energetic themes.
Now, in this new adventure, May shared a photo alongside director Travis Knight, lead composer Daniel Pemberton, and sound engineer Sam Okell, posing with a vintage collection of 1980s He-Man action figures belonging to his family. «What fun! And this movie will make a lot of people smile,» May wrote, highlighting the playful atmosphere of the project.

The film «Masters of the Universe,» which has faced delays for years, is finally taking shape under the direction of Travis Knight, known for «Kubo and the Two Strings» and «Bumblebee.» The cast includes Jared Leto in the role of the villain Skeletor, adding a Hollywood star touch to the revival of this franchise born from Mattel toys in 1982. He-Man, or Prince Adam, is a symbol of the era of cartoons and comics, with his fight against evil on the planet Eternia.
This union between classic rock and heroic fantasy generates great anticipation. Fans of Queen and He-Man agree that May’s orchestral and guitar-driven style could elevate the action scenes to epic levels, similar to how «Who Wants to Live Forever» immortalized «Highlander.»
With the premiere scheduled for late 2026, this news revitalizes interest in a project that seemed stalled. Undoubtedly, Brian May demonstrates once again why he is an icon: his passion for music transcends generations and genres, now conquering Castle Grayskull with unforgettable riffs.
