There’s a new rumor circulating about Florence Pugh’s future with Marvel. Pugh, known for her Oscar-nominated role in Little Women (2019), first appeared as Yelena Belova in the 2021 film Black Widow. Since then, she’s played the character in the Disney+ series Hawkeye, will star in the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie (2025), and has also provided the voice for Yelena in the animated series Marvel Zombies.
Marvel rumor hints Florence Pugh will have the most MCU roles in Phase 6
A Marvel insider (@MyTimeToShineH on X, formerly Twitter) reported that Yelena Belova will have a significant part in both upcoming Avengers movies and will also appear in the new Spider-Man film. Marvel officially announced Florence Pugh’s involvement in *Avengers: Doomsday* last March, sparking widespread rumors about her potential roles in *Avengers: Secret Wars* and the next Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The most significant point is the emphasis on ‘huge,’ as highlighted by the source. Yelena clearly takes the lead within the New Avengers, so it’s logical that Florence Pugh will have a major role in upcoming Marvel projects, potentially including storylines like Doomsday.
Florence Pugh recently told Collider that she’s eager to show more of Yelena Belova’s leadership and personal growth in future Marvel films. She particularly enjoys how Yelena consistently takes others under her wing, especially those who are vulnerable and need support. Pugh explained that Yelena learned this nurturing side from her relationship with her sister, Natasha Romanoff, and has since extended it to characters like Kate Bishop and Bob Reynolds.
The actress, 29, expressed her hope that this aspect of the character will return in future films, saying it’s something audiences really enjoy seeing on the big screen.
The new Spider-Man movie, ‘Brand New Day,’ will premiere in the U.S. on July 31, 2026. ‘Doomsday’ will follow on December 18, 2026, and ‘Secret Wars’ is scheduled to release on December 17, 2027.
