A significant antagonist has been confirmed, which is good news as the Masters of the Universe ensemble continues to take shape. Alison Brie, who starred in GLOW* and Community, has been cast as the classic Evil-Lyn. She joins an expanding group that already features Chris Hemsworth as He-Man and Camila Mendes as Teela. An important character in the *Masters of the Universe mythology, Evil-Lyn serves as Skeletor’s second-in-command. Although the position has not yet been filled, Brie’s casting certainly suggests that Skeletor will appear in the movie.
Set to hit theaters on June 5, 2026, the live-action Masters of the Universe movie will be released by Amazon/MGM. While a theatrical debut is anticipated, the timeline is still tentative given the distance from the release date. Delays or adjustments could alter the current schedule, but the announcement marks a significant step toward bringing the franchise back to the big screen after nearly 40 years.
