Florence Pugh Marks Yelena’s Kickass Return On ‘Hawkeye’
Of yesterday Hawk Eye finally saw the return of Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova. This character is the breakout star of Black Widow, and is now on a false mission to get revenge on Clint after being told he killed her sister Natasha.
Her return comes during the heist of Echo’s apartment by Clint and Kate, with the Avenger’s supervision being roughly interrupted by a mysterious figure in a Splinter Cell cosplay. After demonstrating Black Widow’s technological and combat skills, the warrior was finally revealed – to no one’s surprise – an extremely frustrated-looking Yelena.
Now, Florence Pugh has posted an Instagram post to mark the event, telling of the terrifying death look she gave Clint and Kate:
Marvel Studios has big plans for Yelena, with her lined up to replace Natasha as the MCU’s main Black Widow. There’s a chance she’ll join the next Avengers team as well, meaning she can now face off against her final future teammate Kate Bishop.
I don’t think the lie that Clint killed Nat will last long, so expect Yelena to thaw a bit for the rest of the episodes and return to the sour but deadly character we all love. like Black Widow. Go beyond Hawk Eye, we can see her next in Thunderbolts, as the comic shows she’s a member of that team (although it turns out to be Nat in disguise).
Either way, it’s great to have her back. Let’s hope Yelena stays.
Hawk Eye Airs every Wednesday on Disney Plus.
