Attending a Major League Baseball game can lead to unexpected celebrity sightings, as fans discovered last Saturday night at Truist Park.
Academy Award-nominated actress Florence Pugh was spotted in the crowd during the Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers game, drawing considerable attention.
The 28-year-old English actress, known for her role as Yelena Belova in “Black Widow,” was seen enjoying the game, donning a Braves cap and sharing a moment with Braves mascot Blooper, who took a selfie with her. This encounter quickly became a highlight for fans both in the stands and online.

Currently in Atlanta for the filming of the upcoming Marvel movie “Thunderbolts” at Trilith Studios and Atlanta Metro Studios, Pugh’s presence at the ballpark suggests that fans might catch more glimpses of her—and possibly other Marvel stars—throughout the summer.
The star-studded cast of “Thunderbolts” includes Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Olga Kurylenko, and Harrison Ford. This will be the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For now, fans are delighted to see Pugh, who recently portrayed Princess Irulan in “Dune: Part Two,” embracing the local culture. Her appearance sparked enthusiastic reactions on social media, with one fan exclaiming on X (formerly Twitter), “Florence Pugh being a Braves fan is probably one of the craziest developments of all time and I’m so thankful.”
Others shared their admiration and amusement, commenting on previous encounters and her newfound American pastimes, like attending baseball games and enjoying a cold Miller Lite.
It’s clear that Florence Pugh’s enjoyment of baseball has endeared her even more to fans, confirming that you never know what surprises await at a baseball game.
