Los Angeles, March 29 – Hollywood actress Alison Brie enjoyed portraying a villainous character for ‘Masters of the Universe’.
The actress is relishing her latest role as the supervillain, Evil-Lyn, in the live-action adaptation of the Travis Knight-directed film, which is set to premiere in theaters on June 5. The two-time Golden Globe nominee recently expressed her excitement about playing a supervillain in the Amazon MGM Studios movie, according to ‘Deadline’.
She told USA Today, “I watched a lot of the old cartoons, and she really is like a classic femme fatale character, but with a sense of humor. Just unlike anything I’ve ever really done”.
With her breakout roles as Trudy Campbell on Mad Men and Annie Edison on Community, bringing a cartoon supervillain to life was a fun departure. “A lot of the work that I’ve done, everything is about reality,” she shared.
Brie said “the whole point” of the latest ‘Masters of the Universe’ “is that everybody is larger than life, some people physically, this character more just in her evilness. It was so fun to work on, and the cast is great”.
As per ‘Deadline’, she shared that she appreciated the “exploration of this new world” after filming intimate indies like last year’s Together, in which she co-starred with her husband, Dave Franco. Brie’s portrayal of Evil-Lyn comes after the character was originally voiced by Linda Gary in the 1983-’85 cartoon, based on the 1982 Mattel toys, with Meg Foster originating the role’s live-action portrayal in ‘Masters of the Universe’.
