Dune: Part Two: – Christopher Walken Cast As The Emperor

When Dune came out last year, there were some concerns that the hybrid release would end up tanking the box prospects. That was an even bigger concern when people saw the movie and very much realized that this was only half of a film. The other half needed to be made for all of this to amount to anything. However, Legendary and Warner Bros. did greenlight that sequel, and now things are starting to move along. The production for Dune: Part Two is getting ready to start later this year, which means that the cast is starting to fill out. Florence Pugh and Austin Butler are already confirmed, but Deadline announced another big name to the cast. Christopher Walken will play The Emporer in the sequel.

Legendary has no comment on the casting at the time of writing. At the moment, Dune: Part Two is the last movie that is on the docket, but after the Oscar wins and if this one does well, Legendary will probably greenlight more movies. Dune: The Sisterhood TV series is also still in the works as of March 2022.

Dune Summary: A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, "Dune" tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people.
