We’re ranking the films and series starring Florence Pugh! Our guide starts with Pugh’s Certified Fresh works, including Midsommar, Little Women, and Fighting With My Family, all released in 2019 as her banner year triple header. Pugh was a scene-stealer as Yelena Belova in Black Widow, and ditto when she reprised the role on TV in Hawkeye. Recently she’s starred in tabloid-heavy Don’t Worry Darling, and will portray Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Two. —Alex Vo
