Don’t Worry Darling star Florence Pugh didn’t want the darlings in her life to worry about her jumping off the second tallest building in the world while shooting Marvel’s Thunderbolts*.

Pugh chatted with IGN’s Jeffrey Vega about performing the spectacular stunt, which has been highlighted in the MCU film’s trailers and marketing promos. The sequence, which opens the film, sees Pugh’s Yelena Belova BASE jump off the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“I didn’t tell people the day that it was happening. I didn’t want people to be worrying because obviously, you know, I knew that we were going to be doing it as safe as possible,” Pugh said.

“It’s just not helpful for people to be like well I’m not getting a message from her. Does that mean this? And I just thought that it was best for maybe people to not know the exact day that it was happening, which I’m glad about.”

Only two of Pugh’s loved ones knew the exact day she was going to jump off the Merdeka – because they were there to see it for themselves.

“I had my sister and my best friend out there with me and they were on the top of the building and they got to witness the whole thing,” Pugh recalled.

“And they were just like, ‘Yeah, I wasn’t nervous because you weren’t really nervous. Every now and then I would just catch you in the car looking at it, transfixed by it. And those were the only moments where I knew that where I obviously knew you were thinking about it.’”

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* opens in theaters May 2nd. In his Thunderbolts review, IGN’s Clint Gage called the film “the most solid the sacred timeline has felt in a little while, providing an adventure befitting its overlooked title characters.”
