Thunderbolts* actress John-Kamen gushed over Florence Pugh and her leadership skills in the movie.
During her recent interview with Us Weekly, the 35-year-old discussed the off-screen bond she shared with her Thunderbolts co-stars.

Revealing her personal struggles during the project, the actress penned a lengthy Instagram post.
She called this post a “love letter to Thunderbolts” and to all the people who contributed to the film’s making.
She began elaborating on her journey as Yelena by stating, “This is just my love letter to Thunderbolts* and to all the people that made it. This movie has had whispers since we shot Black Widow, 6 years ago now.”
Later in the post, she admitted that she has built an “emotional connection” with the film, her character, and the history of Yelena.
