All Hail the King!
A week before the “Masters of the Universe” Movie began filming in the historic Wells Cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England…

…which is the location we believe is substituting for Eternia’s Royal Palace…

…because when both Young Adam and Young Teela actors announced they were done filming, it was the same day the “Masters of the Universe” Movie crew was finished using the Wells Cathedral…

…King Randor actor James Purefoy was spotted out in public.

Captured by Instagram user Khalique DJ K (who likes to take pictures of himself with celebrities), considering the time frame of when this photo was taken, we do believe there is a high probability that this beard was grown for James Purefoy’s role as King Randor as he filmed his scenes in the Wells Cathedral.

Yes, this is the likely beard of King Randor, Prince Adam’s father. (Our MOTU Movie hair follicle investigative journalism knows no bounds!)

A fun find in an otherwise slow newscycle!
The “Masters of the Universe” Movie is currently in post-production with the the big budget film scheduled to be released in cinemas worldwide on June 5th, 2026.
We’ll see you next time!


Release a trailer already!
He is not a known name but James Purefoy is an outstanding actor. I recommend seeking out some of his other work.
