I imagine most of the time, method acting doesn’t really produce a better result for the audience. I will say one of my favorite movies, Man on the Moon, was done with Jim Carey doing method acting and I can’t imagine that movie being the same if he didn’t. For yet another blah-tier superhero movie, probably not worth it, but on the rare dramatic role that calls for it, I can understand its use cases.

Have you watched the behind the scene documentary for Man on the Moon though? Because Carey was being an asshole too…
Why do actors only go method when portraying assholes?
So they can have an excuse for their behavior
I also enjoyed the method acting used for the movie ABED.
