It’s official: after a series of less-than-well-received entries in the Marvel film series, the 36th instalment of superhero adventures, Thunderbolts* (or should that be New Avengers?), is a critical and commercial hit.
Much of the credit for that is going to Florence Pugh who plays Natasha Romanov, the adoptive sister of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow who just happens to be a highly-trained assassin.
It’s the latest chapter in a dizzying rise to the top of the acting world for the English actress who only made her screen debut just over a decade ago in 2014’sThe Falling .
Since then she’s been nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and two Baftas, as well as winning several gongs including a British Independent Film Award and the Trophée Chopard Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Her upcoming projects include the new Avengers film, as well as a television adaptation of East of Eden.
Thusfar she’s starred in 18 feature films - here they all are, ranked from best to worst.
