She got more roles in the theater, performing in a double-bill production of Play House and Definitely the Bahamas at Richmond's Orange Tree Theatre in 2012. That same year, she landed the role of Korrina in the epic action movie Wrath of the Titans. She continued to act in the subsequent two years and appeared in 2015 in the eponymous role of Walt Disney's live action Cinderella. Later that year, she appeared in the movie Burnt alongside Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. 2016 saw James play the lead role of Mieke de Jong in the romantic war drama The Exception, and return in 2017 in Edgar Wright's action movie Baby Driver alongside Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm.
