Yesterday (Thursday, 1st May), Marvel Studios’s latest film, “Thunderbolts*”, premiered in Malaysian cinemas, and fans have been flooding social media with their reviews ever since. We had the chance to attend a special preview of the film, so if you’re curious about our thoughts, you can read all about it here.

In celebration of the film’s release and Merdeka 118’s Hollywood debut, the iconic skyscraper lit up the night with a special light show from 29th April to 1st May, giving fans a dazzling preview to build anticipation for the film. That said, you’re probably curious about Florence Pugh’s experience in Malaysia, right? Here’s what the actress had to say about her daring stunt and her thoughts on some of our beloved local dishes:

Earlier this week, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) released a video on TikTok featuring their interview with “Thunderbolts*” star Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova. The British actor spoke about her experience filming a scene in Kuala Lumpur that involved jumping off Merdeka 118. The Academy Award nominee described it as a “mad, mad experience”, noting that there were little to no rehearsals before shooting the daring stunt.

“I had such an amazing time in Malaysia. We rehearsed the scene for one day and shot it the next. I’d been so gung-ho throughout the whole shooting experience, but when the day finally arrived, I needed to process the fact that I was actually going to jump off that building,” she said. The actress added that she developed a special relationship with Merdeka 118, having internal conversations with it to prepare herself for the skydiving stunt.

The Marvel star shared that she would love to return to Malaysia and spend more time in the country, citing the food as one of the main reasons for her interest in coming back. “The food was insane. I need to learn some of the best dishes, but I will 100% try to feature a Malaysian dish on ‘Cooking with Flo’,” she concluded in the interview. For those who may be unaware, “Cooking with Flo” is the name of Florence Pugh’s YouTube channel, which she launched during the Covid-19 lockdown to share her passion for cooking with fans.

We don’t know about you, but we’re certainly looking forward to the day Florence Pugh tries her hand at making a famous Malaysian dish. Perhaps she’ll attempt the iconic nasi lemak? We can only hope!
