Don't Worry Darling

Florence Pugh finds herself trapped in a too-perfect 1950s society in Olivia Wilde's next directorial effort.

A psychiatrist all but tells her it’s in her head and that he can prescribe pills, and the trailer ends bouncing back and forth between Alice’s discoveries, accusations, and the men in ever-heightened Stepford Wives-fashion yelling about whose world it really is. The trailer opens with the couple in wedded bliss as a jaunty beat overlays everything. This puts the piece in line with such games as Stubbs the Zombie, and movies like Fido, Suburbicon, and the recent Amazon series, Them, all set in 1950s planned communities gone wrong.

In Warner Bros.' upcoming thriller Don't Worry Darling from director Olivia Wilde, most everything about the fictional company town of Victory seems ...

But the way Don’t Worry Darling’s new trailer focuses on Alice’s apparent psychological breakdown as she starts asking questions about Victory makes it more than seem like the danger’s much, much closer to home. But there’s something sinister about Victory that at least one of its Stepford-esque housewives is becoming aware of in Don’t Worry Darling’s new trailer. Though Alice and the other women don’t exactly know what the men of the town do while they’re off working on the Victory Project, what they do know (because their husbands tell them) is that there’s nothing to worry about.

Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, and Chris Pine lead the cast of Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling, here's who else will be joining them.

KiKi Layne stars as Margaret, one of the residents of Victory. Margaret appears in the trailer standing mysteriously on top of a roof, hinting there's more to the town of Victory than Frank suggests. There isn't much to be known about Shelley other than that, but the trailer does hint there is much more to Shelly's relationship with Frank than meets the eye. The trailer also hints Margaret's role in the film is the catalyst that starts Alice on her journey to question the town of Victory and its inhabitants, including Frank and her husband Jack. In that sense, Margaret is the domino that causes a devastating rippling effect that affects the entire small community of Victory. Layne was one of the last additions to join the cast of the film. Even as Alice confronts her neighbors about the authenticity of Frank's intentions, many seem scared to even question him. There is a notable shot in the trailer of Alice desperately pulling apart saran wrap that covers her face, symbolizing Alice breaking through the facade of this mysterious town. He has appeared in such movies as Hell or High Water, Smokin' Aces, This Means War, Horrible Bosses 2, and most notably as Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman opposite Gal Gadot. He then reprised the role of Steve Trevor in the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 for director Patty Jenkins. Pine has also lent his voice talents to another popular superhero, the older Peter Parker/Spider-Man, in Sony's animated smash hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Next year Pine is set to reprise his role as Kirk in an untitled Star Trek sequel from WandaVision director Matt Shakman, and will be leading the ensemble of the potential franchise-starter Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Pine is currently working on his directorial debut, the mystery comedy Poolman, in which he will also star in. While many of Frank's neighbors are wholly dedicated to preserving that secrecy, Alice is not one of them. With her portrayals in Little Women and Midsommar, Pugh has made a name for herself as a breakout leading actress. As the trailer progresses, the hidden layers of this seemingly idyllic community begin to slowly unravel. The film's initial teaser trailer shrouds the story in mystery, showing only glimpses of "Victory", the enigmatic company town that is the centerpiece of the film. Jack and Alice have perfect lives until Alice starts to question the eerie nature of Jack's work, which upends their utopian life and relationship. With all of that immeasurable praise, the anticipation for Wilde's next directorial outing, Don't Worry Darling, is understandably through the roof.

On Thursday, Warner Bros shared the second official trailer for Don't Worry Darling – the second film from director Olivia Wilde starring Florence Pugh as ...

She goes to a doctor, who prescribes her pills and earnestly tells her to “keep calm and carry on”. Jack and Alice are depicted as the quintessential 1950s couple. In the new extended trailer, she crushes empty eggshells in her fists, wraps her head in cling film, and is crushed by the walls of her home closing in on her, as she slowly begins to mentally unravel.
