Pugh has basically had four well-reviewed performances since her career jump-started around 7 years ago: “Lady Macbeth,” “Midsommar,” “Little Women” and “The Wonder.” She’s shown great promise, and her willingness to star in a Marvel movie — “Black Widow” — seems to have been a one-off (at least I hope).
