Jennifer Lawrence might be America's darling now, but she might have some stiff competition, as people are now saying Brie Larson could be the next Jennifer Lawrence.
Larson and Lawrence, besides sounding similar, both skyrocketed to fame in a relatively short amount of time. And, like Lawrence, Larson is making the move from indie darling to mainstream movie star.
Larson began her career as a teen pop star, but quickly made the transition to film with a small role in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." She later received praise for her part in the indie flick, "Short Term 12." Now, she's earning Oscar buzz with her new film "Room," out this weekend, in which she plays a woman who was kidnapped at a young age and held captive for seven years.
Larson has also made a splash in mainstream movies like "The Gambler" starring opposite Mark Wahlberg, and this summer's comedy hit "Trainwreck" with Amy Schumer. She's currently preparing for blockbuster fame as the lead in "Kong: Skull Island, a "King Kong" prequel that is expected to be released in 2017.
