Florence Pugh Credits Tom Holland for Spider-Man Role: 'This All Happened Because of Tom'

Florence Pugh told Jimmy Fallon on Monday's Tonight Show that Tom Holland is the reason Yelena Belova appears in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. At an earlier red-carpet interview, Holland named Pugh as his preferred next co-star, and the resulting fan response convinced Marvel to pair them. Brand New Day has now grossed $2.49 billion domestically, the third-highest of all time behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame. Pugh next appears in Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday, both out December 18.
