\n\tFlorence Pugh<\/a> credits Tom Holland<\/a> for her appearance in this year\u2019s mega-hit Spider Man: Brand-New Day<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar nominee visited The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, where she and host Jimmy Fallon discussed her role in the latest Spider-Man film. Pugh said she credits the movie\u2019s star for her being featured in the film. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis all happened because of Tom,\u201d she said, explaining that Holland cited her as an actor in the Marvel<\/a> Cinematic Universe he\u2019d like to work with on another Spider-Man entry. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYears ago, when I just kind of started my relationship with Marvel and Black Widow had come out, my Yelena wasn\u2019t as obviously big as all of the other big superheroes,\u201d she said. \u201cHe, on the red carpet of his previous movie, when someone said, \u2018Who do you want to be in the next movie with? Do you want to be with Thor?\u2019 I don\u2019t remember the superheroes, but they were all massive superheroes, and he said, \u2018No, actually, I want to do it with Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the 2021 premiere for Spider-Man: No Way Home, Holland told Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, \u201cI want to work with Florence Pugh. She\u2019s amazing, she\u2019s so good in [Black Widow], all the movies that she\u2019s done. I think she\u2019s fantastic, so I think a really cool Spider-Man, Black Widow movie would be a fun little twist.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPugh said after Holland made those comments, \u201cfans were then so excited about the idea of it, and that started the ball rolling.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tA similar but different fan experience occurred for Pugh\u2019s Brand New Day co-star Sadie Sink. Also on The Tonight Show, the upcoming X-Men actress told Fallon that she saw fan speculation<\/a> she\u2019d be cast in the most recent Spider-Man film, and somewhat found out she\u2019d actually be in the movie due to those theories.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI found out through online theories. Like, before I got cast in Spider-Man, like, there was speculation online that said, \u2018Sadie Sink is going to be in the new Spider-Man,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cI was like, \u2018Hmm? I am?\u2019 And sure enough, two days later, they asked me to do it. So yeah, those theories, there\u2019s sometimes some truth to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStarring Holland, Zendaya, Sink and Jon Bernthal, Spider Man: Brand-New Day has become the highest-grossing movie ever<\/a> at the domestic box office<\/a> with more than $950 million; it also stands at No. 3 on the all-time worldwide chart with $2.49 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmid its success, The Hollywood Reporter reported on Monday that a theatrical rerelease<\/a> featuring new footage is in the works from Sony Pictures. <\/p>\n

\n\tPugh starred in Thunderbolts<\/a> for Marvel last year, expanding on the presence of her character Yelena Belova. She will continue her MCU streak later this year with the Dec. 18 release of Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florence Pugh credits Tom Holland for her appearance in this year\u2019s mega-hit Spider Man: Brand-New Day.
