Florence Pugh struck in face by hurled object while in Brazil promoting ‘Dune’ sequel

Florence Pugh appeared at CCXP in Brazil over the weekend to promote Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part 2.” It seems that rowdy fans aren’t hurling objects at just musicians anymore. Pugh, known for “Midsommar” and “Little Women,” joined co-stars Zendaya, Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet to promote “Dune: Part 2” at the Brazil fan event CCXP over the weekend. Pugh’s CCXP appearance was one of her first to promote the release of “Dune: Part 2,” which has been delayed to March 1, 2024. “Dune: Part 2” follows Chalamet’s Paul Atreides as he learns the way of the desert-dwelling Fremen to defeat the greedy Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
