One character from Frank Herbert’s first 1965 Dune novel is getting a much bigger role in 2023. Lady Margot Fenring, a relatively minor character in the pages of Dune, will be a major player in the forthcoming Denis Villeneuve film, Dune: Part Two. In fact, based on recent comments made by the director, this character — as played by Léa Seydoux — may finally fix a longstanding plot hole from the classic Herbert books.
