Florence Pugh says she was blocked from posting 'Hawkeye' spoilers on Instagram

• Florence Pugh said she was blocked from posting about her recent appearance on the show "Hawkeye."
• Pugh's involvement in the Marvel show was set up earlier in the year in the film "Black Widow."

Florence Pugh says she was blocked from posting content from the new Disney+ "Hawkeye" show on her Instagram page.

Pugh, whose appearance as the Marvel character Yelena Belova on the show was announced before it premiered, had shared images of herself in "Hawkeye" on Wednesday after the most recent episode aired.

"I never thought me posting love about a show in which I appear on would get taken down.. but here we are," Pugh later wrote in an 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. Beyond ridiculous."

"Being in #Hawkeye is a privilege and thank you to all who welcomed me on set and off and all who are watching," she added.

As of this article's publication, a post from Pugh, which has two images of her character on the newest episode, still appears on her Instagram feed.

Pugh made her Marvel debut in July's "Black Widow," which centered on the titular character played by Scarlett Johansson.

The movie was set between the events of 2016's "Captain America: Civil War" and 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War," with Pugh portraying Natasha Romanoff's adopted sister. Within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the characters were part of the Black Widow project, which took young girls away from their families and trained them to become spies and assassins.

The end-credits scene of "Black Widow" set up Pugh's involvement in the standalone "Hawkeye" series.

The scene jumped to the present day, showing Yelena visiting the grave of Natasha, who sacrificed herself in "Avengers: Endgame." Yelena was interrupted by the mysterious Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who first popped up in the MCU earlier this year on the Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier."

"I've got your next target — thought I'd hand-deliver it," Val said to Yelena as she took out a tablet with a photo of Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) on a tablet and said: "Maybe you'd like a shot at the man responsible for your sister's death."

Pugh herself spoke about her excitement over being a part of "Hawkeye" back in July, when she posted an official photo from the series, showing Clint and Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop speaking to each other.

"Can't wait to see you there," she captioned the post.

The first two of six total episodes of "Hawkeye" were released on Disney+ on November 24, set after the events of "Avengers: Endgame." Trailers and teasers for the show were careful to avoid showing any glimpses of Pugh, though fans knew that it was imminent.

Marvel released a 15-second teaser for the show on December 2, the day after episode three was released. The footage alluded to the return of Yelena, in a quick scene that included a nod to the Marvel comics. Pugh finally made her long-awaited appearance on "Hawkeye" on episode four, released on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Pugh did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
