20 Upcoming Movies That Made INCREDIBLE Casting Choices

4. Alison Brie - Masters of the Universe

Masters of the Universe is one of 2026's big cinematic question marks - both in terms of its quality and whether it can make a return on its colossal $200 million budget.

While there are a few debatable casting picks in the ensemble - especially Jared Leto as Skeletor - pretty much nobody's been able to argue with Alison Brie playing Evil-Lyn.

Evil-Lyn is the aptly-monikered sorceress who betrayed Eternia for Skeletor, and on Earth she poses as Adam aka He-Man's (Nicholas Galitzine) former college professor and mentor, Evelyn Powers.

For all that you can say about the movie - and you can certainly say a lot - in the very least Alison Brie looks she stepped straight out of both the original comics and cartoon series.

Brie is both a tremendous talent and unafraid to dial up the camp when a part calls for it, and few roles likely command that more than Evil-Lyn.
