Lovingly dubbed ‘Dunesday’ by fans, in the spirit of 2023’s ‘Barbenheimer,’ both Avengers: Doomsday and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Threewill debut on December 18 this year in a cinematic event sure to grip the world. To be part of either of these huge movies is impressive, but to feature in both is nothing short of remarkable. Well, that’s exactly what Florence Pugh is doing, as the MCU’s new Black Widow, Yelena Belova, in Doomsday and Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Three.
This follows her surprise appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has already broken numerous box office records and smashed the $2 billion mark worldwide. With this in mind, and with both Doomsday and Dune: Part Three expected to make a huge splash at the box office, it’s possible that 2026 ends with Pugh in all three of the highest-grossing films. One of the actress’ most high-profile roles of the decade, and perhaps her most controversial film, came in 2022, as she starred opposite music star Harry Styles in Don’t Worry Darling.
Directed by Olivia Wilde in only her second effort behind the camera, Don’t Worry Darling stole plenty of headlines for several wrong reasons: due to rumors of a feud between Wilde and Pugh, some strange moments during the press tour, and the apparent firing of the previously cast Shia LaBeouf. Four years on, and the dust has definitely settled, with Don’t Worry Darling now seen by some as underrated. At the time of writing, the film is one of the ten most-streamed titles on HBO Max in the world.

Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
Advertisement
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Advertisement
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
Advertisement
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Advertisement
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Advertisement
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.
