Movie

After chopping off her long luscious hair, the 'Captain Marvel' actress now has shaved her pixie hair as the premiere of her West End stage show is coming closer.

AceShowbiz - Brie Larson has unveiled her latest hair transformation for her role in Sophocles' "Elektra" at the Duke of York's Theatre in London. The Academy Award-winning actress, 35, has shaved her head for the West End revival, debuting a short buzz cut for the production.

In the makeup-free clip, Larson details the intricacies of the play's upcoming revival, explaining that it follows a woman seeking vengeance for her father's assassination. The production, directed by Daniel Fish, marks the play's first major revival in over a decade.

Larson also spoke about the unique rehearsal process and the play's minimalistic approach. "We are kind of honoring [the Greek tragedy's] roots by doing it in an empty theater along with contemporary items like a blimp and a revolved stage," she said.

The production features a stellar cast including Stockard Channing, Marième Diouf, Greg Hicks, and Patrick Vaill. Larson felt empowered by her role as Elektra, a woman who "refuses to let go of her pain, speaking loudly, being bold, being angry, shaving her head, spitting."

Prior to this buzz cut, Larson showed off a pixie cut with a darker brunette hue in November 2024.

"Elektra" will run in London until April 12, with performances commencing on February 5 after previews starting on January 24.
