In 2021, Davenport starred in their first leading role in the thriller film See for Me as Sophie, a blind former skier.[2][3] They described Sophie as "morally complicated", adding: "In a way, it's almost like the part of us that we don't want to admit is there. It's just out in the open for her."[3] The film received positive reviews from critics, with praise directed at Davenport's performance.[4] Jude Dry of IndieWire said that Davenport "anchors the action with their instinctual performance, playing Sophie with a pointed ferocity that is clearly masking deep pain."[5]

In 2021, Davenport voiced Azusa Aizawa in I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level.[6] In February 2022, they voiced Najimi Osana in Netflix's English dub of Komi Can't Communicate,[7] and in May, they were cast as Shii Eniwa in the dub of the anime adaptation of Super Cub.[8]
