Thunderbolts*: Florence Pugh Jumps Off A Building In A New Featurette

Watch Florence Pugh jump off the second tallest building in the world in a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Thunderbolts*.

This featurette has some seriously good timing or people at Marvel were paying attention. Word just came down that the Oscars could officially be adding stunt design to the lineup of awards for the next ceremony and then we get a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Thunderbolts* covering one of the big stunts in the film. We find out in this featurette that the first scene in the movie is going to feature Yelena, played by Florence Pugh, walking off the top of the second tallest building in the world. Apparently, Flo was into it, and Disney was not, but they somehow convinced the lawyers to let one of the biggest rising stars jump off a building.

This isn't a long featurette, but it does show all of the pieces that go into making a stunt work not only on a visual level but also safely for everyone involved. It's one of those easy ways to point out all of the people who have not been getting enough credit for years as they make our favorite movies look amazing. It also isn't as simple as one stunt performer, in this case the actor is doing the stunt, but also all of the rigging and design work that went into the stunt itself. It's a neat little thing to see, and Pugh looks like she had the time of her life.
