Florence Pugh Reflects on a Standout Marvel Series

With Thunderbolts set to release on May 2, Florence Pugh is making headlines — not just for her role as Yelena Belova, but also for sharing her personal favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe memory.

Speaking during a press junket with David Harbour, Pugh was asked about the Marvel moment that “lives rent-free” in her mind. Without hesitation, she singled out WandaVision, starring Elizabeth Olsen.

“I love Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVision and everything that show accomplished,” she said. “It was truly beautiful. It stood alone and delivered such raw, emotional storytelling. The love just radiated from the screen.”

Pugh’s admiration emphasizes how much MCU television projects have expanded the emotional depth of the broader universe.

David Harbour Chooses a Classic Moment

David Harbour also chimed in, selecting a scene from the film that started it all.

“I always go back to the original Iron Man,” Harbour said. “Especially the scene where Tony and Jeff Bridges’ character are discussing the cooling issues with the suit — it’s just iconic.”

This call-back to the origins of the MCU reflects Harbour’s appreciation for the franchise’s humble beginnings.

All Eyes on Thunderbolts

The buzz surrounding Thunderbolts continues to grow, as early screenings have drawn strong reactions from critics. Directed by Jake Schreier, the film brings together a rogue team featuring not only Pugh and Harbour but also Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, and Olga Kurylenko.

Marvel fans are particularly eager to see how Thunderbolts balances darker themes with the signature humor and action that define the MCU. With seasoned actors like Florence Pugh at the forefront, expectations are sky-high for the next chapter in Marvel’s evolving saga.
