Sam C. Wilson, who plays the fearsome Trap Jaw in Masters of the Universe, spoke to HeyUGuys at the UK Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square, London — arriving with a custom bag made by legendary prosthetics designer Barry Gower, the very man responsible for his villainous on-screen transformation. In a funny and warmly candid interview, Wilson revealed he gained twenty kilograms for the role (since lost), trained with Hafthor Björnsson, and explained the overwhelmingly positive fan reaction to the film in five disarmingly direct words: "We've not apologized for it." He also confessed that being part of this ensemble — bad guys included — has felt less like a blockbuster and more like a theatre company.
Interviews for Masters of the Universe at the UK Premiere. The film stars
Nicholas Galitzine, Jared Leto, Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, Alison Brie,
James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley and Kristen Wiig; it was written by Chris Butler and directed by Travis Knight.
Colin Hart and Abigail Shii ask the questions.
Plot: After fifteen years apart, the Sword of Power draws Prince Adam back to Eternia, only to find his once-great kingdom crushed under the iron rule of
the villainous Skeletor. To save his family and restore peace to the realm,
Adam must embrace his destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the
universe — and rally his closest allies to reclaim what was lost.
Masters of the Universe will be released in cinemas on 3rd June 2026.
