Masters of the Universe: Alison Brie Cast as Key Villain in Big-Screen Reboot

As a longtime fan who grew up with the original Masters of the Universe series, I must say that the casting of Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn is nothing short of exhilarating! With her versatile acting range and undeniable charm, she has proven time and again to bring characters to life in a captivating way. Her portrayal of Annie Edison in Community was spot-on, and her role in Apples Never Fall showed that she can handle more complex roles with ease.


In simpler terms, after years of preparation, the live-action remake of “Masters of the Universe” is now shaping up, and it seems that one of its key villains has been cast. Details about this Masters of the Universe film, from director Travis Knight (of Bumblebee and LAIKA fame), have largely been kept secret, but we now know that Evil-Lyn will likely be a major antagonist in the movie

On a Wednesday announcement, it was disclosed that Alison Brie, famed for her roles in “Community” and “Apples Never Fall”, is in discussions to assume the role of Evil-Lyn in Amazon-MGM’s “Masters of the Universe”. She adds to an expanding cast that includes Nicholas Galitzine, who rose to prominence in “The Idea of You”, as the lead character He-Man. Additionally, Camila Mendes is slated to portray Teela. The most recent version of the screenplay has been penned by Chris Butler

In the upcoming movie, fans might speculate if Evil-Lyn will serve as the primary antagonist for He-Man, or if another villain will emerge later. While Evil-Lyn is a significant and iconic adversary in the world of He-Man, Skeletor has historically been the main antagonist of the franchise and He-Man’s chief rival. However, it’s entirely possible that both Evil-Lyn and Skeletor could play pivotal roles in the same narrative, given their extensive history with He-Man’s adventures to date

The upcoming Amazon-MGM version of He-Man and Masters of the Universe won’t hit screens until June 5, 2026. Given the release date and the casting process currently underway, it seems like the film’s production, led by Knight, might start soon

In the series known as “Masters of the Universe,” we find a 10-year-old named Prince Adam who arrived on Earth after a spaceship crash, losing his magical Power Sword – the sole connection to his home planet Eternia. Years later, he finds himself tracking down this sword and is subsequently transported back through space to shield Eternia from the malevolent forces led by Skeletor. To vanquish such a formidable adversary, Prince Adam must initially discover the secrets of his past and transform into He-Man – the most powerful being in the cosmos
