Florence Pugh is one of the most established actresses in the world right now. The English actress first rose to fame in 2016 with her leading role in the independent drama film Lady Macbeth. Before joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova in Black Widow back in 2021, Pugh did a lot of small independent movies like Midsommar and Little Women. However, after she joined Marvel, the fans of the Indie film community thought she would never return to doing small films again.
In a recent interview, Florence Pugh opened up about her views on doing independent films but she was massively trolled by the fans for being too ‘self-obsessed.’
Florence Pugh was told that she would never do small movies again after joining Marvel
Back in March earlier this year, Florence Pugh talked about how she was told that she would never go back to working in small movies again after she had joined Marvel. She said, “When I first signed onto Marvel, lots of people from the indie-film world were all telling me that I was never going to go back to small movies again, and it always kind of wound me up.”
Pugh explained that she always felt there was a different type of beauty in doing such independent movies. She said there is “beauty in all these little ones that not everyone is going to see, but are going to affect the right person at the right time.” The Hawkeye actress further revealed that she never wanted to stay in only one genre anyway and wanted to try every type of movie.
The Don’t Worry Darling actress got trolled by fans on social media for being too ‘self-obsessed‘
In a recent interview with Time Magazine, Florence Pugh talked about how people in the Indie film community got mad at her after she joined Marvel. She said,
“So many people in the indie film world were really pissed off at me. They were like, ‘Great, now she’s gone forever.’ And I’m like, no, I’m working as hard as I used to work. I’ve always done back-to-back movies. It’s just people are watching them now. You just have to be a bit more organized with your schedule.“
However, when fans read her comments, they massively trolled the actress for being too self-absorbed. Fans took to Twitter and shared their thoughts about Pugh. One user wrote, “She’s greatly overestimating how much people cared.”
