Florence Pugh is buzzing about the reception to "Thunderbolts*." Reviews for the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe dropped ahead of Friday's premiere to a cavalcade of praise that resulted in a "Fresh" Rotten Tomatoes score.

Wyatt Russell, David Harbour, Lewis Pullman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus also star in Jake Schreier’s account of dysfunctional outsiders teaming up to tap into their heroic potential.

The movie opens on a morose note, as Florence Pugh ’s weary assassin Yelena explains in voiceover that she feels deadened by the loss of her sister ( Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow) and the empty routine of her life.
