Hawkeye: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best
3. Yelena Belova
Back in June, Florence Pugh completely stole the Black Widow show with her portrayal of Yelena Belova. The post credit scene put her on a collision course with Hawkeye, and despite only appearing in three episodes, she stole the show yet again.
The character returned to MCU screens with the same wonderful mix of joviality, sarcasm, and intensity that would seem almost impossible for anyone else in the franchise to match. She is truly a unique character, and the series hugely benefitted from her inclusion, as will every project she is involved with in the future.
Obviously, her fight scenes with Kate and Clint were excellent. She fought them both on the rooftop opposite Maya’s apartment, she hilariously sparred with Kate at the Bishop party, infuriatingly making the new Hawkeye like her in the process, and had an incredibly emotional moment with Clint on the ice after deciding against killing him.
However, as wonderful as the action involving her was, it was arguably when she sat down and spoke with Kate that was her greatest moment. The conversation was utterly gripping, with the two sharing an undeniable chemistry that has fans begging for more.
