It’s been a little bit over a 12 months since Austin Butler starred as Elvis’ titular singer, a job that netted him a Golden Globe win and and Academy Award nomination. Now we’re just a few months away from him returning to the massive display for Dune: Half Two, the place he performs Feyd-Rautha, the youngest nephew of Stellan Skarsgård’s Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Like his uncle and brother Glossu Rabban, performed by Dave Bautista, Feyd-Rautha is in no way a great man, however Butler’s costar Stephen McKinley Henderson talked about how sort the youthful actor was to him within the midst of praising the Elvis Presley actor’s newest efficiency.
Henderson is reprising Thufir Hawat in Dune: Half Two, with the Mentat now being pressured to serve Home Harkonnen following the destruction of Home Atreides within the first film. So though Feyd-Rautha treats Thufir deplorably, Butler handled Henderson fairly decently when the cameras stopped rolling, because the latter recalled whereas talking on the This Is Purdue podcast:
[Austin] performed a personality that was not very proud of me in any respect, and he was fairly chilling, and I used to be giving him again the appears, however once they say, ‘Lower,’ he would come over and say, ‘Mr. Henderson, are you okay? Can I make it easier to? Can I get you something?’ And he was simply so good. After which we might return to roll and he went, ‘Ugh.’ He was on my case. So I simply so appreciated Austin, an exquisite, fantastic individual.
It’s good to listen to that Austin Butler handled Stephen McKinley Henderson so kindly once they weren’t performing reasonably than going too methodology with the function and sustaining an disagreeable persona even after a scene was accomplished taking pictures. That stated, now I’m desperate to see simply how cruelly Feyd-Rautha treats Thufir Hawat throughout Dune: Half Two. Because the extraordinarily egocentric particular person who’s supposed to take over Home Harkonnen sometime, it goes with out saying that Butler’s model of Feyd-Rautha, identical to the unique model of the character from Frank Herbert’s novel, treats most round him disrespectfully. From the best way Henderson was speaking, it appears like Thufir earns an particularly large quantity of Feyd-Rautha’s contempt.
Austin Butler was first reported to be within the working to play Feyd-Rautha again in March 2022, just some days after it was stated that Florence Pugh was being eyed to play Princess Irulan. Each their castings had been confirmed weeks later, and the opposite newcomers in Dune: Half Two’s forged embrace Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV, Léa Seydoux as Girl Margot, Souheila Yacoub as Shishakli and Tim Blake Nelson in an undisclosed function. The lineup of acquainted faces reuniting with director Denis Villeneuve in addition to Henderson, Skarsgård and Bautista contains Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin and Charlotte Rampling.
Dune: Half Two remains to be set for a November 3 arrival on the 2023 film launch schedule. Within the meantime, each Dune and Elvis will be streamed with a Max subscription, and make sure to examine what we’re most excited to see within the sci-fi epic sequel.
