Few actors begin their careers in commercial films or multi-million dollar franchises, as most must start at the bottom to build a legacy that will mark the rest of their journey within the industry. In some cases, artists find more freedom in this area, even if the films do not have as much money, since high budgets are precisely much more demanding and limited since they must ensure income for the production companies. On the other hand, independent cinema allows for greater experimentation and much more complex roles that depend entirely on the presence and talent of the performers.
However, it is not uncommon for many to go from one thing to another, since participating in commercial films is also an excellent way to live, firstly because of the money they can obtain in the long term, and secondly because of the power they can acquire if everything works out. good. It is not strange that some artists exchange projects, and agree to a higher grossing one in order to produce or appear in a more independent one. This is something Pugh quickly realized when he began his career in England with titles like The Falling, Lady Macbeth or adaptation of King Lear where he shared credits with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
In 2019, it was the premiere of midsummer which really put her on the map for the American public and among the biggest names in Hollywood who were dying to work with her. Shortly after she starred in the adaptation of little women – 94% of Greta Gerwig where he shared credits with saoirse ronan and Timothée Chalametand still with few credits on his roster, he was offered a major role in Black Widow- 87%where she would give life to Yelena, sister of the protagonist played by Scarlett Johansson.

Unlike other actors passing through Marvel, Pugh’s role in Black Widow It was quite important, since the idea was to define her character well so that she would eventually fill the void that the other heroine left in the UCM after Avengers: Endgame – 95%. Yelena reappeared in Hawkeye- 87%and then it was confirmed that she would be the leader of the thunderbolts on a new tape that is still being worked on. While that was happening, the actress was already considered a high-profile celebrity capable of generating millions at the box office with her presence, and although this seems like the dream of anyone who dedicates herself to this world, she assures that others saw it as if she sold her soul to the Devil.
In interview with Time, Florence Pugh explained:
A lot of people in the independent film world were really mad at me. They were like, ‘Great, now it’s gone forever.’ And I thought, no, I’m working as hard as I used to. I have always made movies at the same time. It’s just that people are seeing them now. You just have to be a little more organized with the schedule.
The actress does not expect to stop anytime soon and is very adept at overcoming certain failures like Do not worry honey – 31%. Soon we will see Florence Pugh in the long-awaited sequel to Dune – 75%, which is both incredibly commercial and very different from other multi-million dollar franchises. But she has no interest in leaving good stories aside, wherever they come from, so she did not hesitate to join the interesting cast of oppenheimer nor to an unconventional love story like We Live in Timewhere he will share credits with Andrew Garfield.
