Florence Pugh Movies

From "Black Widow" to "A Good Person," Here Are 14 Can't-Miss Florence Pugh Movies

Apr 3 2023

Florence Pugh may only be 27, but she already has quite an impressive CV. After making her acting debut in the 2014 mystery drama "The Falling," Pugh went on to have leading roles in critically acclaimed films like "Lady Macbeth," "Midsommar," and "Little Women," the last of which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 2020 Academy Awards.

Pugh only went on to achieve further success in 2021 when she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova in "Black Widow" — a role she reprised in the Disney+ series "Hawkeye." Although it's unclear when her character will make another appearance, we likely haven't seen the last of Yelena, especially considering there's still so much we don't know about Marvel's Phase 5 and Phase 6 projects.

Clearly, the best is yet to come for Pugh. Following her starring role alongside Harry Styles in the 2022 thriller "Don't Worry Darling," her new film is "A Good Person" with Morgan Freeman, which is out in cinemas now. Pugh will return to the big screen again in late 2023 in the Christopher Nolan-directed film "Oppenheimer," as well as for the highly anticipated "Dune: Part Two."

Pugh certainly has a career to be proud of, and you can scroll through the slideshow to read all about her biggest movies to date.
