Florence Pugh isn't an Oscar nominee for nothing, she totally nailed the character of Yelena. Natasha is gone but the mantle lives on and Yelena is a worthy successor. Though she and Hawkeye are gonna have a big misunderstanding in the Hawkeye show but I hope it gets sorted out and Yelena eventually becomes a long-term avenger.

Florence Pugh is perfect casting for this character

[adolfopena]

I wish Yelena would interact with the other heroes just so she can roast them all. ❤

[SoldierSpiderx]

Florence definitely stole the whole movie.

Florence Pugh is very perfect for acting yelena belova in black widow film….and she is very charming

[mlggamer]

So the MCU is kind of like a redemption Arc for the character? All right I'm on board for it. I'm pretty sure the only thing I knew about her was that she was once called red widow

You’ve should’ve mention Yelena being part of the Thunderbolts, where Deadpool and Taskmaster(Yes. The Tony Master one) was flirting with Yelena. But it turns out it was Natasha is a double agent disguise as Yelena. Also Taskmaster is best friends with Eric O’Grady, the 3rd ant-man.

Yelena Belova’s badass!

💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯.


She’s the best part from the movie, and Florence really nailed it from beginning to end, especially at the end when she takes on the mantle.

Yelena stole the show. She was absolutely outstanding. She's a badass and also very emotional. Red Guardian and Melina were awesome as well. Natasha 💙 was fantastic too as usual.

Still like to see a Netflix adaptation of Ghost Rider starring Norman Reedus. Danny Ketch, revealed as one of the Dogs of War mowed down in The Punisher. Bids his soul, turns it around in exchange of becoming the next Rider. Quest of vengeance turns to a couple one-off team ups, supernatural element with Dornamu and Dr. Strange.

My favorite MCU supporting casts is:
Korg
Yelena
MJ
Luis
Yondu

I really love mcu version of yelena, can' t wait for the upcoming hawkeye show

[docdoc]

I just don't see Marvel making Florence Pugh's Yelena into a villain or even an anti-hero in the MCU. Actress this talented and likeable don't just fall from the trees. Oh how Marvel wished Brie Larson was half as likeable as her LOL She will become an Avenger somehow. If she was never one in the comics well then there can always be new comics.

[flospumpkin]

I just wish that they could keep her accent, it's really one of her charms as Yelena

[sloanewalker]

I want to see Top Ten moments/side missions/boss battles from each Batman Arkham game

[BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! The Avengers franchise rocks..!!

If Black Widow got a second movie in the MCU with Omega-Red or Sauron as the main antagonist of that movie, Do you think we will see Yelena Belova as the Black Widow of that movie? Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Omega-Red and Sauron?

[chrisreihana]

Since we can assume they are going to cross paths in the new Hawkeye series, depending on how things turn out I can picture Yelena and Kate Bishop becoming either bitter arch enemies or the best of friends.

I hope yelena gets her own movie not over 10 years
