The only one I'd change of those is the casting for Evil Lyn. Instead of Mara Rooney, I'd go with either Helena Bonham Carter or Catherine Bell.

I'd also drop Ken Shamrock for a better actor, but I can't think of anyone other than more wrestlers/MMA fighters.

P.S. It's Tilda Swinton, not Swanson.

Noted and Corrected. It looked wrong, but I was in a hurry, and didn't have time to google the spelling. Thanx.

Your choices for Evil Lyn are too old to go up against Nichols as Teela. Besides, as a dark, brooding witch... Rooney convinced me she can do pure evil! Imagine the climatic fight of Martial artist Teela against the wizardry of Evil Lyn.. and at some point, Teela manages to pull off some magical counterattack... surprising herself, Evil Lyn, and be a nice wink to the audience who know Teela's origins.

As for Shamrock, yeah, you can stick ANY WWE or MMA slab of beef for those roles... no different than random martial artists in a Mortal Kombat role.
I Like Shamrock's voice for the role. Beastman would be more main-henchman, so would need a higher caliber actor. Look at Perlman's job in the craptastic Conan reboot. He has a rugged, bestial nature that would fit the role of Beast Man perfectly. Serkis would give a creepy, slithery nature to MerMan, and made a convincing enough performance in King Kong that I think he could do the gargling one justice.

How often does Duncan fight hand-to-hand anyway? he's always using some laser or device... He's more of a General rather than foot soldier. Everything about Selleck works, even more today. Most important is the fatherly vibe Selleck would bring to the role. Not only to Teela, but to He-Man, too, for even tho Randor is Adam's father, he relies more on M-A-A for advice than his own father.

Don't write off the old guys... watch Expendables... most of 'em are aging action stars from the 80s and 90s and still have what it takes to kick butt realistically in cinema.
