Fighting with my Family and Midsommar star Florence Pugh has shared some details on the upcoming Marvel Studios movie, Black Widow. Recently, Pugh took part in Variety’s Actors on Actors alongside Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart) where she called the movie “very raw and very painful and very beautiful.”
“I think we’ve made something very raw and very painful and very beautiful and I think people are going to be really surprised by the outcome of a big action film having that much heart. And I know lots of people will be emotional about her because her character had such a hard ending [in Endgame], but it was special learning from her, and she’s been doing this for like 10 years in those films. For this to be her film was special. And I got to be there and see how she does stunts and lives it, and it’s so her.”

“The fact that I got to do one of those films with a lead actress and the most beautiful and warm director, Kate Shortland, was a very, very unique and special experience,” Pugh continued. “I don’t know what the other films are like and working on them, but I remember being on set many times and thinking, ‘I know this isn’t like this, I know this is unique and I have to take it all in.’”
