The cast of Dune Part Two appears to be growing. The other day, we found out that Florence Pugh was in talks to join the cast of the film, and now we're hearing about another name. According to Deadline, Austin Butler, who is starring in the very interesting-looking Elvis film later this year, is in talks to join the cast of Dune Two Part as Feyd-Rautha. The role was infamously played by Sting in the David Lynch film and is something of a fan-favorite character from the books and will play a significant role in the upcoming movie. At the moment, Legendary has no comment on this cast. Production on Dune Part Two is expected to begin this summer or fall so it can make its October 2023 release date.
