Alison Brie is ready to show her dark side.

The actress and producer rose to fame on the quirky NBC sitcom “Community,” starring as Annie Edison opposite actors like Joel McHale and Donald Glover. Now she’s ready for a hard pivot, playing Evil-Lyn, supervillain Skeletor’s right-hand woman in “Masters of the Universe.”

“I was really excited to get to play a supervillain,” she says. “I watched a bunch of the old cartoon, and she really is like a classic femme fatale character, but with a sense of humor. Just unlike anything I’ve ever really done.”

“A lot of the work that I’ve done, everything is about reality,” Brie says. In “Masters,” she adds, “the whole point 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.”

The cast features up-and-comers and established A-listers, including Jared Leto, Idris Elba, Camila Mendes and Nicholas Galitzine.

Brie, 43, is fresh off a shoot with husband and fellow actor Dave Franco for the 2025 body horror flick “Together.” The title says it all.

“When Dave and I shot ‘Together,’ it truly was just the two of us. … like 90% of the shoot was Dave and I, all day, every day,” she says. “Universe,” she says, is “the opposite” and an “expanse into this new world.”

Though Franco will be absent from set, that won’t mean a lack of togetherness for the couple, who wed in 2017.

“Dave and I prioritize quality time so much in our relationship,” she says, so much so that it “dilutes” the importance of a major holiday like Valentine’s Day anniversaries, she says. “Most years, and I’m not kidding, Dave’s mom texts us happy anniversary, and then that’s how we both remember.”

Although Alison Brie fans are still mourning Zoya the Destroya, the Masters of the Universe star is enjoying her latest taste of onscreen evil.

Playing supervillain Evil-Lyn in the Travis Knight-helmed live-action feature adaptation, which premieres June 5 in theaters, the 2x Golden Globe nominee recently expressed that she “was really excited to get to play a supervillain” in the Amazon MGM Studios movie.

“I watched a bunch of the old cartoon, and she really is like a classic femme fatale character, but with a sense of humor,” she told USA Today. “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 super vixen to life was a fun departure. “A lot of the work that I’ve done, everything is about reality,” she explained.

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.”

She added that she appreciated the “expanse into this new world” after filming intimate indies like last year’s Together, in which she co-starred with husband Dave Franco.

Brie’s Evil-Lyn portrayal 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 (1987).

The Chris Buttler-penned movie (from a first draft by David Callaham and Aaron & Adam Nee) also stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms, 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.

Masters of the Universe follows 10-year old Prince Adam, who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man, the most powerful man in the Universe.

Best known for TV shows like “Community,” “Mad Men,” and “GLOW,” Alison Brie is an award-winning actor with a career spanning two decades. She also has a surprising childhood comfort food, at least where ice cream flavors are concerned. We recently caught up with Brie during her promotional tour for HelloFresh’s Supper Club, where she shared the food that defined her childhood.

“I want to say mint chip ice cream,” the star told us, also noting that many people’s idea of comfort food is “a warm meal.” Brie said that she ate a lot of mint chocolate chip as a kid and ultimately admitted, “It still would unequivocally be my favorite flavor of ice cream.” In this house, we love Alison “Annie Edison” Brie and mint chocolate chip ice cream, but we know perceptions on the latter are a bit controversial. This ice cream flavor is famously derided, with some people likening the frosty dessert’s flavor and pastel green hue to toothpaste. As for fans of the treat, they highlight the cool, refreshing vibe the mint brings to rich ice cream, while the chocolate chips add another layer of flavor.
