“Thunderbolts”: finally a good Marvel movie with Florence Pugh, a great actress for a superheroine!
This new Marvel film, the first successful one in a long time, owes much to the performances of its actors. Particularly Florence Pugh, who reprises her role as Yelena from "Black Widow."
By Renaud BaronianShe caught our eye in 2019 in Ari Aster's "Midsommar," then, in 2021, in Marvel's "Black Widow," where she played Yelena, the heroine's Russian little sister , and almost stole the show from the film's star, Scarlett Johansson. Since then, Florence Pugh has come a long way on screen. This Wednesday, the 29-year-old actress takes on the role of Yelena in "Thunderbolts" and rocks the house again.
What a strange film, this first Marvel film in ages, and in which practically all the actors reprise their roles played in past films of the "Avengers" franchise. Second-stringers, losers, even super-villains. Like the one played by Sebastian Stan, nicknamed the "Winter Soldier," a former barbarian fighter who has fallen to the side of benevolence. He will have to unite a small troop of degenerate super-killers in the pay of the CIA, whose boss is preparing a diabolical plan aimed, among other things, at making them appear as traitors.
