Florence Pugh is the most fantastic addition to the MCU after the Infinity Saga ended. She is fitted to carry on Scarlett Johansson’s legacy in the MCU as the new Black Widow. She is also being lauded for her performance in Thunderbolts*, which is experiencing a modest run at the box office. The film is still lagging behind the global box office haul of Black Widow. It was the MCU debut of Pugh. Keep scrolling for the exact numbers.

Pugh’s debut Marvel Studios film was released in 2021, and Scarlett Johansson reprised her role one last time as Natasha Romanoff. Johansson sued Disney over the movie’s hybrid release, including theatrical and streaming releases on Disney+. The film features Florence, Scarlett, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, Olga Kurylenko, William Hurt, Ray Winstone, and Rachel Weisz in pivotal roles. It is set during the events of Captain America: Civil War.

According to Box Office Mojo‘s data, Black Widow collected $183.65 million in its domestic run and $379.75 million worldwide. It might have earned more if the film had not been simultaneously released on Disney+. Florence Pugh appeared as Yelena Belova for the first time, and she won hearts with her debut MCU movie only. Since then, it has been a treat to watch her play Yelena on-screen—previously on Hawkeye and now in Thunderbolts*.
