As the ensemble continues to take shape, the latest news confirms that a major villain has been added to Masters of the Universe.
Community and GLOW star Alison Brie has been tapped to play the iconic role of Evil-Lyn alongside previously announced stars such as Camila Mendes as Teela and Chris Hemsworth as He-Man. Evil-Lyn is Skeletor’s second-in-command, and plays a major role in the Masters of the Universe canon. Furthermore, Brie’s casting suggests Skeletor will be a part of the new movie, though the role hasn’t been assigned yet.
Though it is quite a ways off, the Masters of the Universe live-action movie is scheduled to be released on June 5, 2026 by Amazon/MGM. The film is expecting a theatrical debut, but details are still fuzzy this far removed from the release date. The premiere could always shift in the intervening years, and various project delays or speed-ups could necessitate a shifting of the currently established release date. Nevertheless, the release date is a good sign that Masters of the Universe is finally returning to the big screen after nearly 40 years.
