Florence Pugh Reveals What ‘Saved’ Her Filming Frightening Thunderbolts* Jump Scene

By Pune Media On Apr 30, 2025

Thunderbolts* star and Yelena Belova actor Florence Pugh delved into a jump scene in the project. This comes after Pugh revealed the Tom Cruise inspiration for Thunderbolts*.

Pugh touched upon this with Deadline, avouching, “I actually think stepping into the mind of Yelena saved me because in that scene she’s not supposed to be scared, she’s supposed to just be, like, chilling up there. So I had to just pretend like I was her. ‘It’s fine, I’m just dangling with my feet off that insane height.’ So it actually saved me.” Pugh went on to further note, “It’s our duty as actors to protect and defend your characters and to put in the life. There’s so much that’s on the page, but it’s really what you add to it in the last 20% that actually makes every character that any actor plays. There’s so many -isms that I was very welcomed into putting into the movie.”

Thunderbolts* Debuts With the Best Rotten Tomatoes Score for an MCU Movie in 4 Years

The Rotten Tomatoes score for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* has dropped.

Putting the spotlight on Thunderbolts* itself, Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stan hyped the practical effects and stuntwork in Thunderbolts* in January, professing at the time, “Marvel really wanted this to have its own- there were many things in the movie that were actually done practically, and I think that does go a long way, because people are just smart. I think audiences just, they know. ” Additionally, Stan compared Thunderbolts* to The Breakfast Club.

“I actually think stepping into the mind of Yelena saved me because in that scene she’s not supposed to be scared, she’s supposed to just be, like, chilling up there.”

Before that, director Jake Schreier talked about the movie’s novel approach to making Marvel Cinematic Universe films in August 2023, conveying that it was just a really different approach and a new kind of story to tell amidst that, which he knows Marvel Studios has “made so many things” but it’s not a sequel. He concluded, “Yes, these characters have appeared before, but it is a new story being told and a story, I think, with a very different perspective than maybe people aren’t expecting, and I think that that felt exciting and felt like a real challenge worth taking on.“

Pedro Pascal Shows Support for Trans Rights at Thunderbolts* Premiere

Fantastic Four: First Steps star Pedro Pascal made a strong statement at the premiere of the MCU’s latest blockbuster.

Tying into that, Red Guardian actor David Harbour touched upon how the project differs from other MCU installments at CinemaCon 2023, asserting that Marvel is “changing it up.” He further avowed, “They’re always surprising, but this team in particular, and what they’re doing — what this means in the universe is its own thing, that’s really interesting — but the team itself and the way the movie comes together is very different from any other Marvel movie I’ve seen.“

Thunderbolts* Is About to Drop in Theaters

Besides these bits of news, Harbour hyped Thunderbolts* in December 2024 after seeing an early cut, affirming that he was “very excited for you guys to see Thunderbolts*” because he was very impressed with the direction that Marvel Studios took that. Harbour also teased Red Guardian and Yelena’s complex bond in November 2023, remarking that they “have a lot of unexplored history.”
