Dune: Part Two – Léa Seydoux Reportedly In Talks To Join The Cast

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, so the cast is starting to fill out. Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and Christopher Walken are already confirmed, but now we have a new major star in talks to join the cast. Deadline reports that Léa Seydoux is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Dune: Part Two as Lady Margot. Lady Margot is a member of the Sisterhood.

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 for this franchise, 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.
