KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — It’s confirmed. The rumours were spot on. Florence Pugh was indeed in town recently for Thunderbolts*.

Variety caught up with Pugh at Comic-Con last week and shared a short clip on X where the British actress revealed the most fun she filming the movie was that she jumped off the second tallest building in the world.

Standing at 678.9 metres with 118 floors, Merdeka 118 is the second tallest building in the world after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
