According to reports by The Sun, Pugh, who also stars in "Oppenheimer," was spotted exiting the car in an ethereal nude dress, as her family and friends, arriving in a convoy of five Mercedes vans, prepared to join the festivities. However, the night took a chilling turn when an unforeseen tragedy unfolded.

A source shared harrowing accounts of the robbery, recounting, "Shortly after they stepped inside, a motorcycle with two masked individuals pulled up and shattered the side window of one of the vans with breathtaking speed. The drivers, caught off guard, had no time to react." The insider further revealed that the perpetrators swiftly made off with "a laptop and a mobile phone, which were placed in the middle seats." Fortunately, Pugh and her family were unharmed, though understandably shaken by the ordeal.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the incident involving the van had been reported, yet no arrests have been made to date. Undeterred by the incident, Pugh, who portrays the assassin Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside her fellow cast members David Harbour, Lewis Pullman, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, continued to diligently promote their upcoming film.

Scheduled for release on May 1, "Thunderbolts*" stands poised to captivate audiences worldwide, despite the unforeseen drama that marred its star's celebration night.
