All eyes are on Nicholas Galitzin now, as we'll soon see him as He-Man in «Masters of the Universe» . However, some of his fans (like me) are also eagerly awaiting his return as Prince Henry in the sequel. «Red, White, and Royal Blue» . Although, when he appears on screen again as the beloved prince in this romantic story, he will look a little different, and this is because of his blockbuster film scheduled for 2026. .
When CinemaBlend's Jeff McCobb spoke with Galitsyn about «Masters of the Universe» , he also asked if Henry would be a little bigger in the film «"Red, White and Royal Wedding", since filming took place after he played He-Man. In response, the actor said:
Yeah, I mean, I'm not really used to being in front of a computer screen, so I guess I'll watch the movie when it comes out or when I watch it. But I'm obviously not back to my pre-He-Man shape. I mean, I've lost a lot of muscle, but I still have some of my figure. So yeah, I think Henry did some gym work in between our last meetings.
It all seems quite logical to me. Nicholas Galitzine gained significant muscle mass for film "Masters of the Universe"« . He previously said that getting into shape for this film was "the hardest thing I've ever done," and he made it clear the process wasn't for the faint of heart and took a very long time. However, it paid off, as director Travis Knight told EW that his leading man didn't just get into shape, he looked like "a completely different guy" after the entire process.
Moreover, on top of everything else, the first reviews about "Masters of the Universe"« The feedback was positive, proving it was all worth it. However, this desire to build muscle mass and its transformation will impact other projects.
In particular, in the film «Red, White, and Royal Wedding» , which is a sequel to the romantic comedy «Red, White, and Royal Blue» , Galitsin will return to the character he played three years ago. Although Prince Henry was always in good shape, he was by no means obese. Therefore, as the actor playing him said, the next time we see this member of the royal family, he will look like he's spent a little more time in the gym than he did at the beginning of his relationship with Alex.

For context: filming film "The Red, White and Royal Wedding"« began in January of this year and ended in March. Filming «Masters of the Universe» ended in June 2025, as Galitsin announced on Instagram. So he had time to get into shape for the role of He-Man. However, as the actor himself told us, the figure he acquired while filming the character has remained.
To see Nicholas Galitzin as He-Man, you can watch «Masters of the Universe» in theaters on June 5th. Meanwhile, we'll have to wait a little while to see this slightly beefier version of Prince Henry, because about the film "The Red, White and Royal Wedding"« There's no release date yet.
