As a longtime admirer of Alison Brie‘s versatile acting prowess, I couldn’t be more thrilled about her latest role as Evil-Lyn in Masters of the Universe! From her hilarious antics on Community to her poignant performances on Mad Men and GLOW, Brie has consistently proven her range.


Alison Brie has secured the pivotal role as the evil character, Evil-Lyn, in the live-action adaptation of “Masters of the Universe” produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films

In the upcoming adaptation of a famous toy brand from the 1980s, which was initially introduced on streaming platform Peacock’s thriller series Apples Never Fall, the actress is set to star alongside Nicholas Galitzine and Camila Mendes. Galitzine will portray He-Man in this series, while Mendes has been cast as Teela, the captain of the royal guard and a potential love interest, who may also appear in the show

Travis Knight, Laika’s founder and director of ‘Kubo and the Two Strings’, is currently seated in the director’s chair for the upcoming film ‘Masters of the Universe’. After two decades of development, this project appears to be on the verge of starting production

The main storyline involves Prince Adam of Eternia, who transforms into the powerful He-Man due to his magical Power Sword. Endowed with extraordinary strength and abilities, he leads a team to protect their planet from the wicked Skeletor and his troops

Evil-Lyn serves as Skeletor’s right-hand woman, wielding a magical wand adorned with a crystal ball for performing dark spells. Actress Meg Foster brought this iconic character to life on the big screen in the 1987 live-action film adaptation

The screenplay was initially penned by David Callaham, followed by revisions from Chris Butler, with earlier drafts also contributed by the Nee brothers, Aaron and Adam

On June 5, 2026, a movie jointly produced by Escape Artists and Mattel Films will hit the screens globally

Brie, renowned for her comedic and dramatic roles in romantic comedies and TV shows, is stepping out of her comfort zone by taking on a role in a high-budget fantasy production that’s based on an intellectual property (IP). She gained recognition for her performances in Netflix series like GLOW, the cult favorite Community, and AMC’s Mad Men.
