Florence Pugh has steadily grown to be one of the most in-demand actresses in the industry today, and after projects like Oppenheimer and Dune: Part Two, everyone is wondering if she was still going to stay for Marvel Studios’ villain-centric team-up—Thunderbolts.
As it turns out, the movie has apparently started shooting. Talking to ET (via @tbolt_news) during the Dune red carpet, Pugh confirms that she’s already started shooting scenes for the movie. Watch this:

“I’ve just started my next Marvel movie, Thunderbolts. I’ve been shooting that, and I just can’t believe I’ve been able to—I couldn’t make it [to the SAG Awards] last night unfortunately because I was working, but I managed to squeeze this one in; so I’m very grateful that I’ve managed to juggle all of them at the same time.”
Pugh hasn’t given an update on what we should expect from her in the film, but she has already shown up in several Marvel Studios projects—one of which was Hawkeye where she was paired up with Hailee Steinfeld.
Pugh is no doubt a solid actress, and is expected to stick around in the MCU for a while, but based on all the projects that she’s been getting recently, some are suspecting that Marvel will have to work pretty hard to keep her around.
I’m hoping that Pugh will be a good sport about it; I mean, even Scarlett Johansson was able to keep doing Black Widow around all of her non-Marvel work.
Marvel’s Thunderbolts is expected to release in theatres on May 2, 2025.
