‘Black Widow’ is raw and bold, says Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh was scared about getting Russian accent right in 'Black Widow'

Los Angeles:

Actor Florence Pugh says the “raw and bold” script of Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Black Widow” stand-alone attracted her to the project.

The 23-year-old actor stars alongside Scarlett Johansson and Rachel Weisz in the Cate Shortland-directed film.

“I was excited to see how bold it was – and to see how raw it was … and to see how sad it was. It was a script that I didn’t expect to see associated with this.

‘That was part of the reason I got so excited, and with Cate Shortland attached and telling the next part of (the Black Widow’s history], it was only thrilling to be a part of,” Pugh told Collider.

“Black Widow” will hit the theatres on May 1, 2020.
