this just in-
according to some of our colleagues from other outlets, actress Anya Taylor-Joy has been CONFIRMED as having a surprise role in “Dune: Part Two.” And…it’s pretty major.
If you think about it, there’s only one big character from the books who hasn’t made her appearance yet. Taylor-Joy was actually on a lot of fancasting lists to play St. Alia of the Knife, sister of Paul Atreides. Pretty likely that’s who she’s playing. Variety confirmed the news of Taylor-Joy appearing in “Dune: Part Two.”
“Dune Part Two” features returning “Dune” stars Timothée Chalamet (“Wonka,” “Call Me by Your Name”), Zendaya (“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Euphoria”), Rebecca Ferguson (“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (“Avengers: End Game,” “Milk”), Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Dave Bautista (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Blade Runner 2049).
Newcomers this time around include Oscar nominee Austin Butler (“Elvis”), Florence Pugh (“Black Widow,” “Little Women”), Christopher Walken (“The Deer Hunter”), Stephen McKinley Henderson (“Fences,” “Lady Bird”), and Léa Seydoux (“Midnight in Paris”).
The film just had its world premiere in London, and release worldwide on March 1st.
