Florence Pugh Talks ‘Thunderbolts*’ Jump Scene & How Stepping Into The Mindset Of Her Character “Saved” Her From Feelings Of Fear
'Thunderbolts*' star Florence Pugh spoke to Deadline about stepping into the mindset of Yelena to be able to embark on her gravity-defying stunt.
Particularly, much ado has naturally been made about Pugh’s “superb” reprisal as Yelena, the ex-Black Widow and grieving sister to Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), especially given the star’s determination to do a stunt that would make even Tom Cruise’s eyes water. During the press tour, Pugh previously discussed pestering Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige in order to be able to jump off the second-tallest building in the world, at 2,227 feet and eclipsed only by the Burj Khalifa. Set to bow in theaters on May 2, Thunderbolts* also stars Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
