Did you know that one of the most hilarious scenes in Disney+’sHawkeyewas improvised? Marvel stars Florence Pugh and Hailee Steinfeld are not only talented but quick-witted actresses as well. Because of this one particular improvisation, it made the whole scene a lot better.
Of course, fans will never forget the king of improvisations within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of Robert Downey Jr.’s unscripted lines even changed the entire direction of the franchise. Because of this, the second generation of heroes in the MCU keeps his legacy alive.
Florence Pugh and Hailee Steinfeld Improvised The One Fork Scene InHawkeye
In an interview viaBuzzFeed, directors Bert and Bertie, real names Amber Templemore-Finlayson and Katie Ellwood, revealed how the improvisations ofFlorence PughandHailee Steinfeldadded more fun to theHawkeyenarrative.
We did a rehearsal, but every single thing was just perfect between them, and the improvisation that they brought to it was dynamite. We could just sit back at the monitors and just enjoy every single take and their chemistry.
One of the funniest scenes in the show was Pugh’s Yelena Belova criticizing Steinfeld’sKate Bishopfor owning one fork. Bertie explained:
When they were rehearsing, Florence was like, ‘I’ll need to get some implements. So, we’ll go over here.’ She picked it up and just went, ‘There’s one fork! There’s only one fork!’ So, that’s where that dialogue came from.
The people assigned to the props were looking for other forks, but they could only find plastic ones. The director thought Pugh’s line “was perfect and it all went into the script.” Steinfeld was quick to respond with another unscripted line of “I’m one person” in response to Pugh’s argument. “It was funny, but also very Kate,” said Bertie.

When asked byVanity Fairabout his improvisations inIron Man, Robert Downey Jr. said he and directorJon Favreaucame up with those unscripted lines while they were in the middle of shooting for the movie.
It was that kind of thing where you go, it’s more important that we feel like we’re just coming up with this and we like it, and there’s no trick we can’t employ to cover the fact that we’re kind of making it up as we go along.
With the help of his surroundings and a clear understanding of the character, Downey Jr. can come up with witty phrases to throw in while delivering his lines.

Indeed, even improvisation takes real talent and skill because one cannot vouch it would always work out, but for actors like Pugh, Steinfeld, and Downey Jr., it seems like second nature to them.
