is ready for her villainous debut in . The star will menace He-Man and company as the sorceress Evil-Lyn, second-in-command to Skeletor, in Amazon MGM Studio's upcoming big-screen adaptation of the classic franchise. She recently spoke to Collider's at the Sundance Film Festival, alongside her husband , where they're promoting their new horror film . Brie had apparently been looking to strut her evil stuff for some time before Eternia came calling, as she explained:
"I'm so excited about it! I sort of felt like I manifested it because I had just been talking to my team, like, 'If I was ever going to do one of those big action movies, it just would be fun to be villainous.' You know? I wanted to put that out there. I was like, 'Isn't there a villain's assistant that people need?' Like, two weeks later, they were like, 'Hey, there is a villain's assistant,' if you could call her that. So, I'm so excited. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm sort of curious to see what I come up with."
Filming is about to begin, and she's already "getting yoked" with costar , best known as The Mountain on , who plays Skeletor's caprine henchman Goat Man. "Filming is about to start," she told Collider. "Everyone's in pre-production now. I was just out in London lifting some weights with [Hafþór] Júlíus Björnsson." However, when it comes to her costume and makeup, Brie is keeping the secrets of Grayskull. When asked what her costume looks like, she told Collider:
"I'm not saying a damn thing. You eat your heart out. You better just wait until this movie comes out to lay eyes on it all."
