Thunderbolts* is directed by Jake Schreier from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo. The film follows a group of antiheroes who are caught in a deadly trap and forced into a perilous mission.

Pugh reprises her role of Yelena Belova, the character she originated in 2021’s Black Widow and adoptive sister of Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff.

While filming the Marvel Studios movie, Pugh recalled the lengths she went to in order to follow the script and jump off the Merdeka 118 tower in Malaysia.

“It was in the script, and then slowly as we got closer and closer to shooting, they were like, ‘Yeah, we don’t think it’s gonna happen, it’s just gonna be a crazy insurance ordeal, and obviously we’re not going to throw FP off the second-tallest building in the world,’” Pugh said in an interview with Fandango.

The building is 2,227 feet tall and is the second-tallest structure in the world, only behind the Burj Khalifa. Determined to do it, Pugh contacted Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to make her request.

“I was like, ‘What the f**k, of course we are. We have to do that!’” she said. “So I was being a sassy Karen just emailing Kevin and being like, ‘Kevin, this is going to do wonders for the press tour, we have to do this!’”

Although Pugh said she doesn’t “mind heights” and noted that she “enjoys them,” being on top of the building “was a whole different ballgame that was insane,” adding, “The mental control I had to do that day was like, that was its own super power.”
