By Charlie Ridgely

Florence Pugh has seen skyrocketed to superstardom over the last few years. Roles in Fighting With My Family, Midsommar, and Little Women grabbed the attention of movie fans around the world, while her role as Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe turned her into a household name.
