According to National Today, Alison Brie has been confirmed to play Evil-Lyn in the upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe adaptation — a piece of casting news that has the fanbase buzzing about who might fill out the rest of Eternia's roster.
Why This Casting Unlocks the Bigger Conversation
Brie brings serious genre credibility to the role — she's proven her range across comedy, drama, and action, and Evil-Lyn is exactly the kind of character that rewards an actor who can do all three at once. The sorceress is cunning, theatrical, and layered in ways the original cartoon only scratched the surface of. This is a plum role, and landing it with a performer of Brie's caliber signals that the production is serious about the material.
But here's the thing: Evil-Lyn is just one piece of a very large, very colorful puzzle. Masters of the Universe has one of the most iconic ensemble casts in all of '80s pop culture — He-Man, Skeletor, Teela, Man-At-Arms, Orko, Trap Jaw, and a dozen others who all need faces. With one confirmed casting now anchoring the project, the real fancasting season has officially begun.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has been thinking about this one for a while. The most expansive fan cast lives in the Masters of the Universe story, which covers a remarkable 71 roles and has already started collecting votes across some key positions.
The most-voted pick so far? Braun Strowman for Ram-Man, with 3 votes — and honestly, the logic is hard to argue with. The WWE superstar is physically imposing in exactly the right cartoonish-but-real way that Ram-Man demands. It's the kind of fan pick that makes you think "wait, that's actually brilliant."
For Orko — the lovable, bumbling sorcerer's apprentice who is deceptively hard to cast — fans have rallied around Gabe Khouth with 2 votes. Khouth has deep roots in voice acting and fantasy properties, and would bring genuine warmth to a character who can easily tip into annoying in the wrong hands.
Interestingly, before Brie's casting was confirmed, fans had penciled in for Evil-Lyn with 2 votes — a choice that makes a lot of sense given her Farscape and Stargate pedigree. With that role now off the board, those fans will be pivoting to the bigger questions: who plays He-Man? Who is Skeletor?
