Actor Florence Pugh said that she “missed” Scarlett Johansson on the set of Thunderbolts and “hopes” that she has done her former co-star proud with her performance.
The actor, 29, plays the lead character Yelena Belova in the new Marvel film. Yelena’s association with Marvel began with the film, Black Widow (2021). She told reporters, “My whole journey with Marvel was because Scarlett trusted me. She wanted me to join her movie [Black Widow], six years ago. So, I always miss her presence, and feel like it was such a mean thing to begin the journey with someone and then you never get to work with them again on it. It was kind of wild that [the film] was the first and the last time I would get to experience this world with her. I am genuinely always just hoping that she is proud.”

Pugh talked about her record-breaking stunt for the film, which saw her perform a 2,000 ft drop from Malaysia’s Merdeka 118 tower. She said that it wasn’t her own idea to execute it. “Anything that Tom Cruise does, stunt-wise and acting-wise, is totally impressive. I’d be mad if I didn’t want to pretend that I was him for two seconds,” she laughed.
