Currently, you have the chance to watch online, free of charge, one of Florence Pugh’s earliest and widely admired films. The English actress, now globally recognized from her roles as Black Widow’s successor Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, chef Almut alongside Andrew Garfield in “We Live in Time,” and Bene Gesserit initiate Princess Irulan in “Dune: Part Two,” has been captivating audiences with her skill. Even in her initial projects, Pugh’s talent shone brightly – one of which you can now stream on TUBI.
The movie “Lady Macbeth,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2016, was Florence Pugh’s second major film role after her initial appearance in “The Falling” in 2014. This film was written by Alice Birch and directed by William Oldroyd, and it is based on Nikolai Leskov’s novella, “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District.” In this story, Pugh portrayed Katherine Lester, a young woman who found herself in an unhappy marriage to a man older than her, Alexander (played by Paul Hilton). Much like Shakespearean characters, Katherine eventually murders her husband and falsely accuses another man (Cosmo Jarvis) of this crime and other wrongdoings, resulting in one of Pugh’s most remarkable and challenging performances.
Lady Macbeth, a modest period drama with a production budget of around $650,000, offers an intimate and personal touch that intensifies both the movie itself and Pugh’s remarkable performance. Despite its small budget, Lady Macbeth managed to earn a global box office revenue of $5.4 million after its UK and US release – a significant achievement for such a low-budget production. While films like Oppenheimer, Dune: Part Two, Black Widow, and others have contributed to Pugh’s impressive box office total of approximately $3.4 billion, it’s heartening to see her deliver such a powerful performance in her early, low-budget productions as well.
Currently, there are three movies starring Florence Pugh available on TUBI. They include “Lady Macbeth” from 2017, as well as “The Falling” from 2014 and “Fighting With My Family”, a popular biographical sports comedy that debuted at Sundance in January 2019. Among these, “Lady Macbeth” has garnered an impressive 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, other projects like “Oppenheimer”, “The Little Drummer Girl”, “Hawkeye”, “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”, “Little Women”, and “Fighting With My Family” have scored higher. Despite this, “Lady Macbeth” is widely regarded as one of Pugh’s strongest performances, significantly contributing to her rise to fame.
Lately, Florence Pugh has been cast as Yelena Belova in the upcoming movie “Thunderbolts” set for release in 2025. This role will make her a part of the New Avengers before she reappears in the Russo brothers’ film, “Avengers: Doomsday,” slated for 2026. Pugh will also voice Belova in an upcoming Marvel Zombies animated series. In 2026, she is set to return as Princess Irulan in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three.” Additionally, she will act alongside Christopher Abbott and Joseph Zada, known for his role in “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” in the 2026 film “East of Eden.” The future seems promising for Florence Pugh as she continues to expand her acting portfolio.
