Hailee Steinfeld and the ensemble of "Sinners" are creating quite a stir with their remarkable early box office triumph. Steinfeld, accompanied by Michael B. Jordan, Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, and the rest of the outstanding cast, are steering another hit film helmed by Ryan Coogler. Meanwhile, as "Sinners" continues to soar at the box office, another high-profile film, "Thunderbolts," looms on the horizon, poised to captivate audiences with its star-studded cast. When this Marvel masterpiece finally graces the silver screen, it wouldn't be a surprise if Steinfeld seizes every opportunity to catch it, partly fueled by her admiration for Florence Pugh.
Pugh is slated to embody the character of Yelena Belova in "Thunderbolts," a role that Steinfeld has witnessed firsthand. The two actresses previously shared the screen in "Hawkeye," where they clicked so effortlessly that the "Sinners" star is eagerly anticipating another collaboration.
In an interview with Taylor Gates of Collider, Steinfeld gushed about the Marvel universe and her experience working with Pugh, whom she lauded as a "powerhouse." "First and foremost, she is a powerhouse," Steinfeld emphasized about Pugh. "When she stepped onto the set—and I've witnessed this firsthand in 'Dickinson'—it's never an easy feat for someone joining mid-project, especially when the foundation has already been laid, and everyone's in sync. Yet, Florence seamlessly integrated herself, taking center stage despite her busy schedule. It was effortless for her; she's a force to be reckoned with."
Steinfeld further revealed that they "hit it off instantly" and had "the best time together." "She's wonderful," Steinfeld exclaimed. "I'd do anything to work with Florence again, especially in the realm of Kate and Yelena. I think we'd have an absolute blast."
These are incredibly high praises from Steinfeld, underscoring her instant connection with Pugh. Whether fans will get to see these two talents share the screen once more remains to be seen, but as the Marvel universe has shown time and again, anything is possible.
