Black Widow S Florence Pugh Thought Fans Would Hate Her Character S Russian Accent

Black Widow

was supposed to premiere last week globally, but

the current pandemic delayed

its release to November 6, 2020. However, there has been no shortage of reveals about the film from many outlets in recent weeks. The prequel

has been confirmed to fill in the gaps in-between MCU movies

to show what Natasha Romanoff was up to during those times. Aside from that, Johansson said in an interview that

Black Widow

will heavily revolve around the theme of family

as it explores Romanoff’s relationship with her family members from the Red Room program which includes Red Guardian, Melena Vostokoff, and Yelena Bolova.

Out of all the family members, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Bolova is the most intriguing, since she has close ties to Natasha and the Black Widow lore in the comics. On top of her first stint in the ever-growing MCU, this will also be

Pugh’s first foray in the action genre

. With so much to unpack, Pugh opened up about joining the billion-dollar franchise and her newfound Russian accent in the film.

an interview with Elle via ComicBookMovie

, Florence Pugh admitted that it was a

“big decision”

when she signed to play Yelena Bolova in

Black Widow

. Here’s what Pugh had to share about the matter:

“

When you think of Marvel, it’s big and daunting,

especially being a relatively small actor to look at it and go “oh, I’m going to be a part of this,”

that’s a big decision

.”

Moreover, Pugh also shared her concern about fans not being onboard of her Russian accent in the trailers.

“

I was scared because my Russian accent was going to be out there

and I didn’t know what it sounded like. I’m also playing a character who no one’s seen before, but they’ve read about her.

I didn’t know whether people were going to hate me

.”

WHAT THIS MEANS

Pugh’s feelings are valid since it is always an intimidating prospect to join a successful franchise like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There is no word yet if Pugh will return after

Black Widow,

but Marvel Studios should be wise enough to keep a rising talent like her. The trailer showed bits of Yelena’s signature accent and

most fans seem to have no trouble

with Pugh’s portrayal. The recent concern of Pugh with her accent shows her eagerness and how invested she is in the role. This serves as a good sign for fans looking forward to seeing more of Pugh’s Yelena in the future of the MCU.

It remains to be seen if

Black Widow

will show the villainous side of Yelena since the trailers have instead shown the sisterly bond between her and Romanoff. In the comics, Yelena has the tendency to change sides, and the espionage nature of the film could potentially show her betraying Natasha and the rest of her family in the final mission, but this is pure speculation at this point. Since Natasha already met her demise in

Avengers: Endgame

, there have been

rumors of Yelena replacing Natasha as the new Black Widow

but the anti-hero route would be very well suited for the character since it presents a more complex character development. Considering that a

Thunderbolts

project is rumored to be in the works

, Yelena could very well end up as part of the villainous team before making a heroic turn down the road.
