Many feel the Marvel Cinematic Universe has slowly gone downhill since the release of Avengers: Endgame in 2019. During the seven years in between, Marvel released several TV shows like Loki and WandaVision to mixed reviews. The MCU has also hired big names like Pedro Pascal and Florence Pugh to breathe new life into the franchise.
Florence Pugh joined the MCU in 2021 with the movie Black Widow, the long-awaited solo movie for movie star Scarlett Johansson’s titular character, Natasha Romanoff. In the film, Pugh portrays Yelena Belova, Romanoff’s biological sister. Although the film came out during the pandemic lockdown, people praised her performance in the film.
For a while, despite these releases, it seemed like Marvel was reaching its end. A recent project, Avengers: Doomsday, however, has generated buzz around the franchise again. Legendary Marvel superstars like Chris Evans are returning for the film, which also boasts Pugh and Pascal. Iron Man himself is returning, as Robert Downey Jr. takes up the mantle of Dr. Doom. Things might not be so glamorous on set, though.
In a recent Elle magazine cover story, Pugh commented on misogyny and rude behavior on film sets, saying, “Show up on time. Don’t be rude, don’t be a misogynist.” Fans are speculating that the comments may be about the Doomsday set. Pugh has been in multiple huge projects set to release this year, including Dune: Part Three, so anything is possible.
Pugh has given no clear indications about which movie set she’s referring to. Large casts with a lot of famous actors could spell the kind of trouble she’s talking about.
N Crowd, could the Marvel men be responsible for this callout, or is there another group on set that has caught Pugh’s attention? We can only wait and see.
