    According to sources, Austin is in the considerations to enter the cast of Villeneuve’s Dune sequel as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen who is the wicked nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. The cast of the smash-hit sci-fi epic includes Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, and Rebecca Ferguson. The villainous nephew, Feyd did not appear in the 2021 release but now makers are considering taking this major antagonist in the second installment.

    The filmmaker, Denis said about the character, “[it would] be definitely a very, very important character. There were enough characters that were introduced in the first part. And it will be more elegant to keep Feyd for part two.”

    Denis also gave an update about filming. He said, “I will say it is mostly designed. The thing that helps us right now is that it is the first time I have revisited a universe. So I am working with the same crew, everyone knows what to do, we know what it will look like. The screenplay is written and I feel confident. Frankly, the only bug unknown for me right now is the pandemic.”

    This will be the third time that the character of Feyd-Rautha would come to live with Austin Butler. Previously, this role was played by Gordon M. Summer in 1984’s adaptation of the novel. And then on the tv, it was played by Matt Keeslar in 2000’s Dune by Frank Herbert.
