Who knew that underneath her midnight black cowl, Skeletor\u2019s Mistress of Mayhem, Evil-Lyn, has a head of platinum blonde hair? I did not see that coming, but I\u2019m here for it. This afternoon, Empire Magazine<\/a> debuted a batch of new images for Masters of the Universe<\/a>, the upcoming fantasy action film starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, a.k.a. He-Man. The first image appears on the publication\u2019s latest magazine cover, featuring Galitzine\u2019s He-Man, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Camila Mendes as Teela, and He-Man\u2019s cowardly steed, Cringer, who transforms into the formidable force Battle Cat when provoked. The quartet looks battle-ready while standing in front of Castle Grayskull, where the evil villain Skeletor (Jared Leto) awaits.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest teaser which aired during the Winter Olympics:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

New Masters of the Universe images have the power<\/p>\n

In addition to the Empire\u2019s glorious new cover, the coverage includes the first great look at Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Skeltor\u2019s second-in-command, who can control the powers of darkness. The costume department for Masters of the Universe is updating Evil-Lyn\u2019s armor with purple and black webbing, not unlike an arachnid\u2019s carapace. She\u2019s also carrying her signature staff, complete with a serpentine design along the shaft and a glowing purple orb as its power source. I\u2019m not gonna lie. Evil-Lyn looks fantastic in her new gear. I can\u2019t wait to see her cast her spells, gnash her teeth, and give He-Man a run for his money.<\/p>\n

Finally, we see He-Man\u2019s Power Sword in action as Galitzine lifts the magical weapon toward the sky, calling for its mighty energy to bless his oncoming attacks. All that\u2019s missing from the image is a cascade of lightning, but I\u2019m sure it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n
