Dune: Part Two – The Work That Went Into Anya Taylor-Joy's Secret Role

It was recently revealed that Anya Taylor-Joy had joined the cast of Dune: Part Two, and Denis Villeneuve "couldn't believe" they kept the secret for so long.

A couple of days ago, we discovered that Anya Taylor-Joy has a role in Dune: Part Two that no one knew until the red carpet premiere made it official. While some leaks happened online that seemed to indicate that Taylor-Joy had some role in the film, thanks for that Letterbox, it wasn't until she walked out onto the carpet and confirmed it that we all found out it was true. These days, it's hard to keep things like that under wraps until the eleventh hour, but this was one of those rare times. Director Denis Villeneuve was also shocked that they managed to keep it a secret, telling Entertainment Weekly, "I cannot believe that we kept the secret that long. … It required so much work to keep that secret. Everybody signed with their blood."

As for who Taylor-Joy is playing in Dune: Part Two, people are still keeping their mouths shut, though it is being said that the role is little more than a cameo that could become something much more should Dune: Messiah come to fruition. If you've read the books, you likely have a pretty good idea of who she could be playing and how they could sneak a cameo of her into the film, but we'll have to see. If you have theories, drop them in the comment section. We'd love to hear who you think she's playing.
