Florence Pugh Describes 'Thunderbolts' as A24-Inspired Indie Film

Florence Pugh has characterized the upcoming Marvel film 'Thunderbolts' as an 'A24-feeling' indie assassin movie, distinguishing it from traditional MCU offerings. In her interview with Empire Magazine, Pugh highlighted the film's unique tone, which blends emotional darkness with humor, a style influenced by director Jake Schreier's previous work on the Netflix series 'Beef.' The film features a diverse cast of antiheroes, including Pugh's Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, as they embark on a mission that forces them to confront their pasts. The promotional campaign for 'Thunderbolts' aims to address fan critiques of the MCU's sameness, promising a fresh take on the superhero genre. The film is set to arrive in theaters on May 2, 2024. Pugh's remarks reflect a broader industry push for more distinct voices and narratives within superhero cinema.
