Marvel Studios officially announces Thunderbolts is now filming by releasing a promo video featuring the star of the movie, Florence Pugh, who shows off behind-the-scenes footage.
The video is a part of the film’s official marketing as Pugh, who returns as Yelena Boleva from the Black Widow movie, showcases the set which includes a look at director Jake Schreier directing a scene.
“Hey, guys, how ya doing?” she says. “I know I kind of dropped off for a little bit but that’s partly because I was whisked off to Atlanta to go shoot a movie I’m really not allowed to talk much about, but I can show you some things.”
Pugh walks through the set and as she turns her camera, she she shows off the Thunderbolts logo on a director’s chair, as well as an image of herself wielding a gun on a monitor.
“Can I show some of this?” she questions Schreier who is telling her she probably shouldn’t be showing anything. “That’s enough. That’s it. That’s it. That’s all you’re allowed to see,” she says. “I can show you a bit of that… I can’t show that… And we can say we are having an amazing time and I can’t wait for you to see what we’ve made.”
In addition to Marvel posting the video on all their social media accounts, Florence Pugh also posted the video on her personal account on Instagram and included emojies, which are thought to be for each character in the movie.

Recent rumors offer Florence Pugh is the lead actor of Thunderbolts along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. While promoting Dune 2, Pugh also made it sound as if Thunderbolts is more a sequel to Black Widow, which judging from the BTS video seems to be the case.
