Dune 2 star Stellan Skarsgård couldn't wait to work with Austin Butler on the sequel and praises his "deliciously evil" performance

Dune 2.

Ever since we first got a glimpse at a bald Austin Butler in the initial teaser for sci-fi sequel Dune 2, fans have been very excited to see the Elvis star's villainous turn as the menacing Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. And it turns out they weren't the only ones, as actor Stellan Skarsgård admits that he too was also very, very excited to see exactly what Butler would bring to the role.

Returning as Vladimir Harkonnen, Skarsgård's Baron is searching for a successor this time round and thinks his nephew Feyd-Rautha may be a potentially suitable fit, despite the fact he has a reputation as, let's be honest, quite the psychopath. The pair therefore share several scenes together as the Baron tests the young heir, seeing if he is the right man to follow in his footsteps.
