Florence Pugh Thanks Tom Holland for Her ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Casting: “This All Happened Because of Tom”
The Oscar nominee explained that 'The Odyssey' actor previously cited her as an MCU actor he wanted to work with, which left fans "so excited about the idea of it, and that started the ball rolling."
Actress Florence Pugh revealed in an interview on "The Tonight Show" that Tom Holland's comment during a red carpet event years ago led to her role in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova in the film, admitted that Holland's response to a fan's question about potential future movies was the catalyst for her involvement.
In 2021, Holland had commented to ET at a previous event that a "really cool Spider-Man/Black Widow movie would be a fun little twist." Pugh echoed similar sentiments in a 2023 Buzzfeed interview, expressing her desire to see Yelena with Spider-Man and her eagerness to meet Holland.
