Florence Pugh is all set to return to Marvel's screens as the all-new Black Widow as a part of Thunderbolts* marking it her second appearance on the MCU screen as Yelena Belenova. With behind-the-scenes clips, teasers, and sneak-peeks out, her character has created quite the buzz as fans get excited to go back to some of the most loved anti-heroes of the franchise.
Needless to say, a Marvel project is pretty synonymous with thrilling stunts, and Pugh left no stone unturned in her previous appearance as she broke through walls and handled guns like a pro. Thunderbolts* isn't any different, as the film will see Yelena returning to her full-of-action figure. Among others, one particular scene has caught fans' eyes where Pugh can be seen jumping off from Merdeka 118, a 118-story megatall skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which is also known as the second tallest building in the world.
Of course, the scene required the actress to take full training and precautions, seeing how demanding it is physically. Opening up about how she convinced Kevin Feige to let her do the stunt, here's what Florence Pugh told Fandango.
"I got on all the emails, because it was in the script, and slowly as we got closer to shooting they were like, 'Yeah, I don't think this is going to happen.It's going to be a crazy insurance ordeal. And obviously, we're not going to throw FP off the second-tallest building in the world.' And I was like WTF, of course we are. We have to do that. So I was being a sassy Karen, emailing Kevin [Feige], saying 'Kevin, this is going to do wonders for the press tour. We have to do this."
Of course, she was right. The scene did wonders for the press tour and for the clip's views on social media, as it helped launch full-on exciting discussions about the project and everything it could bring to the MCU.
