Milly Alcock, who also featured in sirenshad earlier opened up about her relationship with social media and online commentary, revealing that she consciously avoids engaging with discourse around her work.
“It just makes me incredibly anxious,” she told Nylon in 2022. “Me seeing my face constantly is straining. No one should have to do that. It f****** sucks, man. I don’t know how the socialites of the world can do that. It’s kind of driving me off the wall. It’s an incredibly difficult space to navigate,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

During the same interaction, Alcock also weighed in on the long-standing criticism of superhero films by acclaimed filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott. Scorsese had previously remarked that such films are “not cinema” and likened them to “theme parks,” while Scott described them as “boring…,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Responding to the criticism, Milly Alcock said, “I get it. They’ve been around for fucking ever making phenomenal films. … Not every film is for everyone. The beauty of art is that you can be selective,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
