Visit The Real-Life Eternia: 'Masters of the Universe' Filming Locations In England

The 2026‘Masters of the Universe’reboot is bringing He-Man to a whole new generation, and it did so by swapping California soundstages for some of England’s most breathtaking historic sites. The production team set up shop at Wells Cathedral, Wookey Hole Caves, and Beer Quarry Caves to bring Eternia to life. These aren’t just random backdrops; they are landmarks with centuries of history, adding a layer of authenticity that green screens just can’t match.

For fans of the franchise, the casting news is just as exciting. Dolph Lundgren, the original He-Man from the 1987 cult classic, steps back into the universe for a cameo. He described the moment as a chance to‘pass the torch’to Nicholas Galitzine, who takes over the role. It’s a nostalgic nod that bridges the gap between the retro era and the new wave of superhero films.

While the visuals and the cameo are winning over audiences, the box office numbers tell a different story. The film has earned over $113 million worldwide, which sounds impressive, but it falls short against its $200 million budget. Still, for travelers and movie buffs, the real treasure might be the locations themselves. Planning a UK road trip that includes these filming spots offers a unique blend of cinema and heritage.
