We didn't know this until today, but apparently, Anya Taylor-Joy has a role in Dune: Part Two, playing "a major character from the franchise."



Article Summary

  • Anya Taylor-Joy joins the stellar cast of Dune: Part Two in a mystery role.

  • The social embargo lifting today may unveil Taylor-Joy's character details.
  • Dune: Part Two, directed by Denis Villeneuve, releases March 1, 2024.

The cast of Dune: Part Two somehow got even more impressive. We already knew that a bunch of really impressive people were either coming back from the first film or joining the cast for this one, but apparently, we were missing someone. No one knew until today, but apparently, Anya Taylor-Joy is in the film, as Variety can confirm. At the moment, we don't know who she is playing, but fans of the books are going crazy online with speculation because it is being reported that she is playing "a major character from the franchise." The world premiere is happening today, so the social embargo should be dropping within the next couple of hours. It might be revealed then who Tayl0r-Joy is playing, or people will be keeping the secrets. The review embargo doesn't drop until later this month.
