Dune Part Two: Florence Pugh In Talks To Play Princess Irulan

Dune was one of those movies that is a little hard to review or even watch, but it is, sincerely, not a whole movie. Much in the same way that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows isn't an entire movie when you only watch the first half. So when the film was released in October with a hybrid release in theaters and HBO Max, some people were hesitant to even watch it because we didn't know if Part Two was going to happen. Then they announced Part Two, and now Dune is enjoying a rather lovely awards season. We still don't know if it will take home any actual awards, but Dune Part Two is set to start filming this summer with a release date of October 20, 2023, two years after the release of Part One. We have our first piece of casting rumors. We know that returning cast members are coming back, but Deadline has a report about someone new. According to sources, Florence Pugh, who is on a rocketship of a career right now and with very good reason, is in talks to join the cast. While it isn't confirmed what role she is eyeing, the rumors say that she is looking to play princess Irulan Corrino, the eldest daughter of Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV.

With a production start date of the summer for Dune Part Two, we should be learning more about new cast members sometime soon, and probably by the late spring, we'll be getting some confirmations. As for this casting, Legendary currently has no comment.
