In the final act of the movie, the main characters, including Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy, face off against the Storm King (voiced by Liev Schreiber).

The ponies, along with new allies like Capper the cat (voiced by Taye Diggs), Captain Celaeno and her pirate crew (voiced by Zoe Saldana), and Tempest Shadow (voiced by Emily Blunt), who initially worked for the Storm King but later switches sides, join forces to thwart the villain’s plans.
