Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova is getting a new look reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson’s platinum-blonde Black Widow hair inAvengers: Infinity War. The character rose to prominence after her stint in 2021’sBlack Widow.
Pugh reprised her role in Disney+’sHawkeyeand will return as the iconic character in the upcoming Marvel’sThunderbolts*.
Marvel Fans Aren’t Impressed With Yelena Belova’s New Look
Speaking withPeopleat the San Diego Comic-Con, actressFlorence Pughtalked about the making ofThunderbolts* and why it’s a special movie for her.
I feel like this is something that we’ve never seen before from Marvel. I feel like it’s a very open and honest and truthful idea. And I’m just really excited for people to watch it.
She admitted that the movie “has been years in the making” but argued that “there would be no point in doing this story unless we did it properly.” Hence why the filming production took so long to finish.

The actress argued that there’s no sense in bringing the characters together and telling their individual storylines “unless we actually spoke the truth about how they’d be feeling” and this can only be achieved in the way they filmed it.
While fans are absolutely excited to see what’s in store for them, an early look atYelena Belovadid not appeal to their taste. She’s now sporting a short platinum blonde hair, just like whatScarlett Johanssonwore in one of herAvengersfilms. It seems like the new hairstyle isn’t impressing the netizens. Read their sentiments below:
It doesn’t suit her😭
Ewww what’s that hair

Why did they give her the Natasha hair cut? The longer hair looked better imo
What did they do to her hair?💀
The cast ofThunderbolts*also includes Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, David Harbour, Harrison Ford, and Geraldine Viswanathan. Laurence Fishburne and Rachel Weisz are also expected to reprise their Marvel roles.

She said it was fun to “actually get to let go and you actually get to be proud and be impressed by the work that you’ve done” especially after being secretive about it for quite a long time.
