Brie Larson on Becoming Rosalina in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Brie Larson on Becoming Rosalina in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Academy Award–winner Brie Larson admits she had a fan‑girl moment when she learned she’d be voicing Rosalina in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. A lifelong gamer and devoted fan of the franchise, Brie brings heart and joy to her role as the enigmatic guardian of the Lumas. She shares how the new film expands the story far beyond the Mushroom Kingdom and takes audiences into an entirely new universe of mystery and adventure.

Tune in as Brie sits down with Jacqueline Coley to discuss how she crafted new emotional layers for Rosalina and how the unique challenges of voice acting both pushed and liberated her creatively. She reflects on standout moments from her career, her love of gaming, and the surprising ways those passions have shaped her as an artist — from a touching experience she had with co-star Chris Pratt when they encountered fans during a Universal Studios tram tour to the practices that help her stay grounded while taking on complex characters. The conversation ultimately leads us through her newest chapter in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where she brings one of Nintendo’s most beloved characters to life with depth, imagination, and a sense of cosmic wonder.
