Alison Brie Teases a New Era for ‘Masters of the Universe’
Alison Brie, known for her standout roles in series like Community, is adding her star power to the highly anticipated Masters of the Universe film. Produced by Amazon and MGM Studios, this adaptation of Mattel’s iconic franchise has ignited a flurry of excitement and speculation among fans.
In a recent interview with Collider, Brie addressed the swirling rumors about the film’s tone. Contrary to what some may believe, she hinted that the upcoming version may not follow the campy style of previous adaptations. “Who said it’s leaning a little more serious?” Brie remarked. “I don’t think they know as much as they think they know. That’s all I’m gonna say.” This cryptic comment has only heightened the intrigue surrounding the film.
The story revolves around 10-year-old Prince Adam, who crash-lands on Earth in a spaceship, leaving behind his magical Power Sword—the crucial link to his home on Eternia. Nearly two decades later, he embarks on a thrilling quest to retrieve the sword and return to his planet, where he must confront the evil Skeletor. To defeat this formidable foe, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the secrets of his past and transform into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
In this exciting reimagining, Alison Brie will portray Evil-Lyn, a character shrouded in mystery and power. The film also stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, alongside an impressive cast that includes Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, and Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms. Other notable cast members include Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Malcolm/Fisto, and Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await a fresh take on this beloved franchise. With a talented cast and a promising storyline, Masters of the Universe is poised to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the film’s debut!
