Rumored Details on Florence Pugh’s Role as Yelena In Next Avengers and Spider-Man Movies Revealed
It looks like Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova is about to take center stage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. New reports are shedding light on just how important she’ll be in the upcoming Avengers films, with a surprising update on her appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
As the Multiverse Saga nears its conclusion, Marvel Studios is gearing up for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, with Anthony and Joe Russo returning to direct.
These films are expected to reshape the MCU, pulling together the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man into a single timeline.
Yelena Belova has quickly become a fan favorite character, standing out in Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Thunderbolts. Now she’s leading The New Avengers alongside Bucky Barnes, solidifying her place as one of Marvel’s biggest breakout characters.
Inside scooper @MyTimeToShineH recently claimed, “Yelena will have a HUGE role in both Avengers films and a few scenes in Spider-Man Brand New Day.”
While the details of her meeting with Peter Parker in Brand New Day remain a mystery, it’s possible she could be scouting him for the New Avengers. Given how the MCU has been slowly building toward legacy heroes taking the reins, it makes sense that Peter and Yelena might cross paths.
In Avengers: Doomsday, Yelena is said to be the one assembling her own team. Leaked concept art has also teased her as part of the forces serving Doctor Doom in his twisted “Battleworld” reality. That could mean we’ll see her tested in ways fans might not expect, as allegiances get blurred across fractured universes.
The same insider also reiterated a long-standing rumor about Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch returning in both Doomsday and Secret Wars. She’s reportedly tied to Doom’s rise, possibly as his “bride” or even revealed as Magneto’s daughter on Earth-10005.
The last time audiences saw Yelena, she was stunned to witness the Fantastic Four’s Excelsior spaceship racing toward Earth. Now, with Marvel teasing connections in promos for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it feels like Yelena’s story is just getting started.
