Thunderbolts, one of the latest instalments in the MCU, sees a group of unconventional antiheroes embarking on a dangerous mission.
Previously speaking about the film, Ms Pugh said: “They wanted to give me another chance, they wanted to see where Yelena went.
“I’m also so impressed that they’ve wanted to make this kind of movie with this kind of story, with the story that Jake (Schreier, the film’s director) has really championed.
“It’s not an easy superhero movie. It’s not a movie about talents that you can’t see yourself in, it’s actually about flaws that everybody can see themselves in, and it’s humongously brave.

“I’m just very, very lucky that my first experience was with Scarlett Johansson (who plays fellow assassin Natasha Romanoff, who is also known as Black Widow), who wants to talk about women and the behaviour of people around women in the world.
“And on my second movie, it’s about mental health and the behaviour of how we accept people with mental health.”
The film also stars Sebastian Stan as Bucky, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, and Wyatt Russell as John.
It was released in UK cinemas on Friday, May 2, but will be available to stream on Disney+ from Wednesday, August 27.
