The psychological thriller compared to Pugh's impressive background. Many viewers jokingly expressed their sympathy for Pugh having to work with an inexperienced actor, while others compared his bad accent to Gal Gadot's in Wonder Woman. Some outright called Styles a bad actor and accused him of sleeping with Wilde for the role, although their relationship reportedly started after they met for the film. Read viewers' comments below:
While Styles' fans still seem extremely excited for Don't Worry Darling, those who aren't die-hard fans are pretty brutally honest about his accent and acting. Wilde herself has hyped up Styles as an actor, but from what audiences have seen, they believe Pugh will carry the movie. However, Styles and Pugh will be ed by an all-star cast including Gemma Chan, Nick Kroll, Chris Pine, and KiKi Layne.
Styles certainly doesn't have the proven acting chops Pugh has shown in recent years, but viewers should wait to see him in his first major role before ing full judgment. However, if the released clip is any indication of the movie as a whole, Styles may be in trouble with his accent and acting capabilities. The story in the film seems intriguing and thrilling already, so hopefully, a great story paired with Wilde directing will make Don't Worry Darling better than audiences are expecting.
