Alison Brie says the reaction from men to her role in the upcoming Masters of the Universe film has been unlike anything she has experienced before.
The actress, 43, who is best known for roles in Community, Mad Men and Netflix wrestling comedy GLOW, will play villain Evil-Lyn opposite Jared Leto as Skeletor in the new live-action adaptation of Masters of the Universe.
The film, which also stars Nicholas Galitzine, Idris Elba, Kristen Wiig, Camila Mendes and Morena Baccarin, arrives amid renewed nostalgia for major 1980s franchises returning to cinemas.
Brie said the excitement surrounding the project had surprised her, particularly from men in her life who grew up with He-Man toys and cartoons.
"People have been coming out of the woodwork to talk to me about it, people I haven't heard from in ages because they're so excited about it," she said, speaking to People.
