Florence Pugh is a bit upset today. After finally experiencing her Hawkeye debut in yesterday's episode and celebrating with several photos, Instagram informed her that she wouldn't be able to share any more "spoilers."
"I never thought me posting love about a show in which I appear on would get taken down..but here we are," actress Florence Pugh wrote in her Instagram Story. "Someone on here complained so I've been blocked from posting my own appearance on a show that I'm very much in."
Florence's Instagram Story still seems to contain several images and her climactic reveal in last night's episode, which I guess didn't rise to the level of spoiler. She's also still got a picture in her regular Instagram showing Yelena turning around to face the camera. Florence tagged that photo with "she's here."
If this was all that Florence shared, it’s hard to imagine someone considering them to be spoilers. After all, we’ve known for months that Yelena, also known as the new Black Widow, would be appearing in Hawkeye. At the end of the Black Widow film, The Contessa approached Yelena as she’s overlooking Natasha’s grave. Obviously, this scene takes place after Avengers: Endgame, where Natasha sacrificed herself to save Hawkeye and retrieve the Soul Stone.
“I’ve got your next target — thought I’d hand-deliver it,” the Contessa said in Black Widow. Maybe you’d like a shot at the man responsible for your sister’s death.” She then shows Yelena a picture of Hawkeye.
So Yelena's appearance in last night's episode was something that fans should have been well prepared for. Still, it seems at least one fan didn't appreciate the spoiler, or otherwise just didn't watch Black Widow long enough for the end credits teaser.
"Beyond ridiculous,” Pugh added. “Being in #Hawkeye is a privilege and thank you to all who welcomed me on set and off and all who are watching,"
There are still two episodes left in Hawkeye, but don’t expect any spoilers from Black Widow.
