Austin Butler is swapping Graceland for the planet Arrakis in Dune 2, the sequel to Denis Villeneuve's 2021 sci-fi epic. The Elvis star is set to face off against Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides as Feyd-Rautha, the nephew of Stellan Skarsgård's villainous Baron Harkonnen.
Speaking to Total Film in our new issue, which features Dune 2 on the cover and is out this Thursday, Butler tells us: "Denis described him to me as having a psychotic nature, but yet there’s something sort of seductive about him as well. And he’s hungry for power. I started thinking: 'Well, how did he grow up? What would his voice sound like? How would he breathe? How would he move?' That was the real fun, where you start filling in all those details, and putting meat on the bone."
