A new Masters of the Universe TV spot has arrived... and it gives us the tiniest glimpse of He-Man riding Battle Cat.

The clip, which can be viewed below, appears to have been uploaded via screen recording by a He-Man fan website. Despite the slightly wonky quality, however, we can see clear as day at the very end of the 60-second spot He-Man raising the Power Sword while sitting astride Battle Cat... who appears to be donning his cartoon and action figure-accurate red cloak!

We've seen Cringer, Prince Adam's big, sweet ol' tiger pal, in both previously released trailers (and Amazon MGM even cheekily let him roar in place of the classic MGM lion). However, we hadn't seen him in his true Battle Cat form, which sees his fur take on a green tinge with his head and torso protected by a red leather cloak of sorts. You might be thinking... well, of course we're going to see Battle Cat in the movie! He's in the cartoon! He's even in the new He-Man action figures that were released last year in promotion with the new film. However: he was not in the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, mainly due to budget concerns (which also explains why Skeletor was more guy-wearing-a-skeleton-costume rather than a skeleton man).

The upcoming movie stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam aka He-Man, who is off living a normal life on Earth when he's called back to his home planet of Eternia to defeat the evil Skeletor (Jared Leto). Travis Knight (Kubo) directs from a screenplay penned by Chris Butler (ParaNorman), Aaron and Adam Nee (The Lost City), and David Callaham (Shang-Chi, Mortal Kombat).

Masters of the Universe releases on June 5. For more, check out our guide to the most exciting upcoming movies heading our way.
