Florence Pugh says Tom Holland helped set the stage for her Yelena Belova appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. After Black Widow debuted in 2021, Holland told a red-carpet interviewer he wanted to work with Pugh, prompting fan interest in the pairing and helping the idea gain momentum. Pugh later reprised Yelena alongside Holland’s Peter Parker in the film, which has become a major box-office hit. She is also set to return as Yelena in Avengers: Doomsday and as Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Three.
