MOVIE NEWS – Austin Butler’s appearance as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in the trailer for Dune 2 shocked audiences. Especially those who love the book…

 

 

Austin Butler looks a little surprising in the trailer for Dune 2 (officially Dune: Part Two). But his appearance hides the dark truth of his character. The film’s second part is presumably an adaptation of the second half of Frank Herbert’s Hugo Award-winning novel Dune. The cast has been expanded with several notable new names who play some of the novel’s essential characters. Prominent among them is Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan. As well as Austin Butler, who will play Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

Butler’s character, Feyd-Rautha, is the nephew and chosen heir of the evil Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard) and plays a crucial role in Herbert’s novel.

Feyd-Rautha did not appear in Denis Villeneuve’s first Dune instalment. However, his character will undoubtedly be important in the sequel. Since the release of the trailer and first images for Dune 2, it is clear that Feyd-Rautha has already changed from the book in one critical respect: her looks. In the novel, the character is described as a distinctly attractive-looking man. His appearance and charismatic behaviour have some function in the story. The distinctly different appearance of Feyd-Rautha in Herbert’s novel seems to have been discarded. Instead, this key character was given a much creepier and more gruesome appearance.

 

 

 

 

Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha was probably shaved bald in the film to make him look more like the other Harkonnens. Stellan Skarsgard’s Baron Vladimir and Dave Bautista’s Glossu Rabban were also featured heavily in Dune. Both were given bald heads and a slightly monstrous look. All this has become synonymous with Villeneuve’s interpretation of Harkonnen. The decision to make Feyd-Rautha look like this is probably intended to keep her character in line with the rest of the house. And the fierce, ferocious look helps to convey the idea that she is a distinctly evil character.

 

Dune 2 has received a stunning trailer

 

The epic journey of Paul Atreides continues in the first trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. The Warner Bros. Pictures, Dune Part Two promises to be more action-packed and intense than its critically acclaimed predecessor. Paul Atreides must battle enemies and himself to fulfil his destiny. Watch the new trailer for Dune 2 at the end of this article!

The previous Dune movie covers the first half of the source novel. The second part covers the rest of the book’s story. The sequel will thus explore the mythical journey of Paul Atreides as he reunites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.

He must choose between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe and try to prevent a terrible future that only he can foresee.

Like its predecessor, Dune 2 boasts an incredible cast. It adds several new A-list actors to an already impressive cast. The Dune sequel will once again star Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides. He is surrounded by familiar faces such as Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling and Stephen McKinley Henderson. Midsommar and Black Widow star Florence Pugh and Elvis actor Austin Butler join them. Also appearing are the legendary Léa Seydoux, who was already a legend in her youth, and finally, Swiss actress Souheila Yacoub. Hollywood icon Christopher Walken will be seen as Emperor Shaddam IV.
