Barring a possible delay, Dune 2, the second chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s science fiction, will hit theaters next November, which, in addition to telling the “second part” of the first book of the saga written by Frank Herbert, will also present characters such as the villain Feid-Rautha Harkonnen, played by Austin Butler (Elvis).
Stephen McKinley Henderson, who will return as Tufir Hawat in Dune 2, had the opportunity to praise co-star Austin Butler when he was a guest on the Purdue University podcast:
(Austin) plays a character who doesn’t like me at all, and it’s pretty creepy, which I reacted to on stage with a stare, but when they said “Cut” Cut!”, he would come up to me and say, “Mr. Henderson, are you okay? I can help you? Do you want something?” And he was always so kind. Then we would go back to filming and he would be back on track. I really appreciated Austin, a wonderful, wonderful person.
