Florence Pugh, known for her role as Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently offered fans a tantalizing glimpse into the set of the highly anticipated film “Thunderbolts.”
In an Instagram video shared on Wednesday, Pugh, who is set to reprise her role in the crime-action flick, playfully teased details while navigating the fine line between secrecy and sharing with her followers.
The video begins with Pugh addressing her followers, acknowledging her recent absence due to filming obligations in Atlanta for the undisclosed project. “I can show you some things, sneakily, as long as you don’t tell anyone,” she mischievously remarks, hinting at the strict confidentiality surrounding the production.
Sporting her Belova costume, Pugh showcases her character’s attire—a crisp sage green jacket and matching pants—before introducing fans to some of the crew members. Inside the studio, she stealthily captures glimpses of the set, including a tower-like structure where filming is underway, all while maintaining an air of secrecy.

However, Pugh’s clandestine tour is abruptly halted when director Jake Schreier catches wind of her unauthorized filming. Schreier’s admonishment prompts Pugh to joke about the possibility of being tackled by security, adding a humorous twist to the behind-the-scenes escapade.
Wrapping up the video, Pugh expresses her excitement for fans to witness the culmination of their efforts when “Thunderbolts” hits theaters in May 2025, according to IMDb. Her portrayal of Belova marks a significant return to the Marvel universe following her debut in “Black Widow” (2021) and subsequent appearances in the Disney+ series “Hawkeye.”
“Thunderbolts” is poised to explore a group of government-employed supervillains, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus reprising her role as the enigmatic leader Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Joining Pugh in the ensemble cast are “Black Widow” stars David Harbour and Rachel Weisz, returning as Alexei Shostakov and Melina Vostokoff, respectively.
As anticipation mounts for the release of “Thunderbolts,” fans eagerly await further glimpses into the secretive world of Marvel’s latest cinematic venture.
