Most recently he was seen in the limited TV series Under the Banner of Heaven.
Pugh earned her Oscar nomination for her performance in Greta Gerwig's Little Women, but she has also earned raves for movies like Lady Macbeth, Fighting with My Family, Midsommar, Black Widow and Oppenheimer. We Live in Time is her second 2024 movie, as she previously starred in Dune: Part Two.
