Brie Larson’s performance in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, as well as her performance in The Marvels, is proof the Oscar winner should do more comedy.
The Big Picture Since her MCU debut in 2019, Brie Larson has been one of Marvel's heavy hitters in her role as Captain Marvel. Returning to the big screen this year in The Marvels, Larson continues to be a superhero juggernaut as one of the most powerful and underappreciated Avengers today. But before she was shattering spaceships and going toe-to-toe with Thanos, Larson had already achieved immense critical recognition, winning an Academy Award in the heart-wrenching 2015 film, Room.
Brie Larson's Envy Adams Is Perfectly Dramatic in 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' Envy Adams' introduction is foreshadowed far earlier than her actual appearance, with references and allusions to Scott's ex-girlfriend. When she finally makes her appearance, Envy is dramatic, biting, and utterly hilarious. Her vocal inflections are exaggerated and intense, with her facial expressions likewise sharp and excessive.
Despite Scott's genuinely ludicrous actions, Envy shows a moment of real sincerity and sadness. With only a few lines of dialogue and a subtle yet impactful shift in her facial expressions, Larson is able to bring a degree of realism to one of the most excessive characters seen yet. Though the moment is brief, it feels surprisingly grounded and is one of the few moments when the movie takes time to pause its high-energy antics, even if it's just for a breath.
