The production of Dunes: Part 2 Of Denis Villeneuve is now underway in Budapest, and a new set photo from the sequel has been released online via SFF Gazette. While not the sharpest shot in the world, the image seems to give us our first glimpse of the new cast member Florence Pugh ( Black Widow, Fighting With My Family ) as Princess Irulan.
Daughter of the Double Emperor of the Known Universe (Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV of House Corrino to give her full title), Irulan does not have a particularly significant role to play in Frank Herbert’s first novel, but the character is believed to have had an expanded role for this upcoming sequel. It’s hard to make out the details in this photo, but it looks like she’s wearing a white dress (although she might actually be a cover-up) and some kind of tiara.
Pugh joins the new cast members that are Austin Butler (Elvis) as the evil Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the legendary Christopher Walken as the Emperor e Léa Seydoux (Crimes of the future) as Lady Margot Fenring. While Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave BautistaZendaya, Javier Bardem they will reprise their roles from the first film.
