There are very few actors these days that just capture the public’s attention as soon as their name is attached to a project. Florence Pugh is one of those names. Pugh made her acting debut in 2014 in The Falling, and she has never looked back. Pugh’s filmography is absolutely stacked with phenomenal performances. We’ve seen her playing the lead in the horror masterpiece Midsommar, tearing our hearts out in an instant classic in Little Women, serving a jaw-dropping performance in Lady Macbeth, and even playing as the bad-ass sister of a fallen Avenger in Black Widow! If you want to talk about range, Pugh is the embodiment of it.

Pugh’s charisma alongside the pure raw talent she exhibits in every project she is a part of is only going to propel her career even further than it already has. The next few months, and even years, are going to be exciting for the young actress. From Christopher Nolan’s upcoming war film Oppenheimer to the family-fun animated movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the time is now for you to be paying attention to the one and only Florence Pugh. Here is what we are the most excited for.
Don’t Worry Darling — September 23, 2022
New Line Cinema
Pugh is starring as Alice in Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling. The film, set to release in September 23, 2022, follows the lives of the people of Victory, a picturesque American suburb in the 1950s. With the fancy cars, mowed lawns, and spotless houses, Victory appears to be a place where you can live your best life. However, the secrets that lie underneath the perfection of the town begin to surface as Alice faces the reality that the people she knows and the town she calls home may not be what she initially thought. Starring alongside Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, and Olivia Wilde herself, this film is one of the most highly anticipated projects of this year. With Pugh’s track record in horror being absolutely stellar with her work in Midsommar, there is no doubt in our minds that she will be fantastic in this movie.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish — December 21, 2022
DreamWorks Animation
Puss in Boots, one of DreamWorks’s most beloved characters since his debut in the Shrek movies, is having his story come to an end. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is set to come out December 21, 2022. When you live a life (or nine) full of adventure and chaos, you are going to burn out at some point, and for Puss in Boots, retirement seems like the best option. However, he finds out that he is pretty much on his last life and the only way to restore the ones he’s lost is to find the Last Wish. Pugh is set to voice Goldilocks in the upcoming animated film, joining the voices we all know and love in Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and Olivia Colman.
A Good Person — March 2023
Mega
Now, so far, we do not know much about A Good Person. However, with the groundbreaking cast that is attached to it, we are just as excited to find out more. Per Deadline, A Good Person is a drama film written and directed by Zach Braff. It follows a woman’s heartfelt yet unlikely relationship that forms between her and what would have been her father-in-law after she is involved in a fatal accident.

Oppenheimer — July 21, 2023

Ever since this movie crawled into the movie scene, anticipation has not stopped building. Christopher Nolan’s next project Oppenheimer, is a biographical war film that is based on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a physicist on the team for the Manhattan Project. Pugh’s role as Jean Tatlock is enough to get our attention, but there are many big names that are involved in the project, some of which include Cillian Murphy, Iron Man himself Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Rami Malek, and Matt Damon. Film lovers across the world are more than ready for this film’s release on July 21, 2023.
Dune: Part 2 — November 17, 2023
Warner Bros. Pictures
The sci-fi adventure and book adaptation film Dune was one of the biggest releases in 2021. Now we are facing Dune: Part 2, the world is growing even more, and part of the growth finds Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan. We have seen Pugh fit in effortlessly into more action-driven projects, so her inclusion in this film is an absolute treat for fans. Also, it is exciting for us to see her share the screen again with her former Little Women co-star Timothée Chalamet as well as joining a cast with Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Christopher Walken, to name a few. Per Esquire, the film will release November 17, 2023.
