“It was really cool once I got there and saw the costume and what they had in mind for me, the whole get-up and the wig and contacts and all of it,” Baccarin told Variety. “I’m so excited to see what they make of it because I feel like my part of it was just such a small element to what it’s going to actually be in the end.”

Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson plays Man-At-Arms’ brother and Teela’s adoptive uncle Malcolm. Alison Brie plays Evil-Lyn, the lieutenant of Skeletor, the leader of the Evil Warriors, played by Jared Leto.
