Brie Larson may now be better known for bringing Captain Marvel to the MCU, but over a decade ago, she provided the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with one of its most iconic scenes. Now 12 years later, Larson has uncovered some never before seen rehearsal shots from her musical performance in the movie and shared them on her Twitter account.
While Larson seemed as surprised as anyone to have found the images, she was happy to let her followers see the throwback images, and commented how the whole thing was done with a real band. She wrote:
Larson appeared as Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim, starring as the ex-girlfriend of the titular character played by Michael Cera. Adams is the lead singer of a pop group called The Clash at Demonhead, and in the scene, Larson shared her memories of the band covering Metric’s song Black Sheep, with the actress providing the vocals as well as performing for the number. While her version of the song was not on the original soundtrack for the movie, it was added as part of an expanded release in 2021.
“Somehow found these BTS photos from the making of The Clash at Demonhead for Scott Pilgrim. We rehearsed like a real band with the guidance of [guitar coach] Chris Murphy, [composer] Nigel Godrich and of course, Metric. And I got to play with my old friend Tennessee Thomas. We tore it up in Toronto."

Brie Larson Has Expanded Her Hollywood Presence Since Scott Pilgrim
By the time Brie Larson appeared in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, she had already appeared in several movies, but over the following decade, she has continued to grow a loyal fan base and as well as she is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, she is about to appear in the penultimate movie in the Fast and Furious saga.
While the actress is very active on social media and has had plenty to share with her fans in the last few years, she is also frequently the subject of hate from online trolls. This has seen her appearance as Captain Marvel being review-bombed and comments sections constantly being filled with negative comments against her appearances as the superhero. Larsson actually addressed the online hate towards her during this year’s D23 Expo, when she responded to a question of how long she would play Captain Marvel by saying, “I don’t know. Does anyone want me to do it again?”
While Larson’s fans were quick to show support for the star, with one daring anyone to say something bad about her Captain Marvel performance without mentioning either her short hair or the fact she is a woman, it is clear that the actress does have plenty of fans out there of both her portrayal of Carol Danvers and in other roles. With the original Captain Marvel movie taking over $1 billion at the box office in 2019, it is no surprise that Larson is back next year for The Marvels, the sequel to her debut movie, which sees her taking on a new cosmic threat with the help of WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau and Ms. Marvel’s Kamala Khan.
The Marvels will be released on July 28, 2023, while Scott Pilgrim vs. The World can be found on various streaming platforms.
