Florence Pugh Jumps Off World's Second Tallest Building for "Thunderbolts"

Florence Pugh gave Tom Cruise a run for his money as she made her most dangerous stunt in Marvel's upcoming "Thunderbolts".

Pugh revealed that she had jumped off the second-tallest building in the world, the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"I think we all like feeling cool doing stunts," she said. "This movie is so wonderful and bizarre, and it’s very brave and it’s because of this cast."

Directed by Jake Schreier (Paper Towns), Pugh reprises her role as Yelena Belova, sister of Black Widow in the feature.

The cast also includes Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr aka Ghost, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov aka Taskmaster, Harrison Ford as General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, and Lewis Pullman as Bob aka Sentry. 

Additionally, Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, with Geraldine Viswanathan as Mel, her assistant (taking over for Ayo Edebri). 

"Black Widow" and "Thor: Ragnarok" writer Eric Pearson joins "Beef" screenwriters Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo. 

"Thunderbolts" is set to hit theaters on May 5, 2025, delayed from its previous December 20, 2024 release date due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
