Dune: Part Two Star Florence Pugh Shares Secrets From The Thunderbolt Set, Including Yelena’s New Look
Florence Pugh, known for her roles in Black Widow and Hawkeye, unexpectedly and delightfully decided to take us behind the scenes of the Marvel Universe in an unprecedented way. In a video posted on Instagram, the actress gave us an exclusive pass inside the “Thunderbolts” set, revealing details that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. From her new look to the team logo and previously unseen scenes, Pug immerses us in this world of forbidden courage. Did he get ahead of Marvel Studios with this move?
The New Dawn by Yelena Belova
Unlike her previous adventures, we not only get a rejuvenated Yelena sporting short hair, but also an outfit adorned with a yellow logo. This subtle but significant change marks the beginning of a new chapter for the characters and promises to develop the story in unexpected ways.
Director Jake Schreyer and his cast gave us our first look at the new “Thunderbolts” logo, accompanied by a short but powerful trailer of what to expect in this May 2, 2025 episode. We saw Yelena in the visuals. In iconic pose, gun in hand, opponent. This image not only foreshadows the actions of the film but also raises questions about the coming alliances and conflicts.
From the spy to the heroine
Ever since her first appearance in Black Widow, Yelena established herself as a complex and fascinating character, quickly winning the hearts of Marvel fans. This spy heroine faces challenges that shape her character and abilities. Her transition from a loner to a key member of the Thunderbolts shows her growth and adaptability. The choice of Pugh to play Yelena has been key in this process, a perfect mix of strength, vulnerability and humor.
Yelena’s new beauty in “Thunder” marks her evolution and the beginning of a new phase in her life. This visual change is not just an aesthetic detail; It reflects their maturity and readiness to face new threats. As the Marvel Universe continues to expand, characters like Yelena become crucial pillars, proving that a hero’s strength lies not just in their powers, but in their ability to change and adapt. Waiting to see his development in “Thunderbolts” is a testament to his influence on Marvel stories.
An unexpected plot twist
The “Thunderbolts” team, far from following their traditional comic book representation, introduces the Sentinels, adding complexity to Marvel’s already dynamic Multiverse. In the absence of key figures such as President “Thunderbolt” Ross and Tiamut, the group takes an unexpected turn, distancing itself from the group’s original motivations. This change of direction features a plot rich with unexpected twists and daring decisions.
A cast including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, David Harbor and Wyatt Russell, among others, proves to be an explosive mix of talent and charisma. The recent additions of Geraldine Viswanathan and Lewis Pullman, replacing others, freshen up the cast with new dynamics due to the conflict.
What can we expect from Thunderbolts?
This behind-the-scenes look, courtesy of Florence Pugh, not only raises expectations but also highlights Marvel’s ability to constantly reinvent itself. With a mix of comedy, action and mystery, “Thunderbolt” promises to be a turning point in the Multiverse Saga, uniting heroes and heroines in a battle that will define the future of the MCU.
Directed by Jake Schreyer and co-written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Kahlo, “Thunderbolts” is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the coming years. Yelena Belova is ready to lead this new chapter, and we are ready to follow her on this adventure.
