Léa Seydoux To Play Lady Margot in DUNE: PART TWO

Léa Seydoux ("Blue Is the Warmest Colour", "No Time to Die") is in negotiations to star in Warner Bros and Legendary's "Dune: Part Two". The second film will be once again directed by Denis Villeneuve, who will also produce, and co-write alongside Jon Spaihts.

The all-star ensemble includes Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista and Josh Brolin, who will reprise their roles. New additions include Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV, Florence Pugh as the Emperor's daughter, Princess Irulan, and Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

If the deal goes through, Seydoux would play Lady Margot, a long-standing servant of the Bene Gesserit and wife of Count Hasimir Fenring. Although her role in the plot should have started in Part One, it's reasonable to assume she will play an important part in the new installment.

Seydoux recently starred in David Cronenberg's "Crimes of the Future", and Mia Hansen Love's "One Fine Morning".

"Dune: Part Two" will open in theaters on October 20, 2023.

Christopher Walken Joins DUNE PART TWO as Emperor Shaddam IV

Christopher Walken is the latest addition to the cast of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic "Dune". Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts are once again writing the script.

Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson and Javier Bardem, among others, are returning for the second installment.

The second chapter of the epic saga will continue where "Part One" left off, with Paul Atreides (Chalamet) fighting alongside the Fremen to free the desert planet of Arrakis from the grips of House Harkonnen.

Walken will play Emperor Shaddam IV, the ruler of the known universe who ordered the Atreides family to Arrakis in order to cause their downfall. The character did not appear in "Dune: Part One", but will play an important role in the final chapter. Florence Pugh has also joined the cast as Princess Irulan, the Emperor's daughter. Austin Butler recently signed on to play Rautha Harkonnen, the presumptive heir to the Harkonnen dynasty, who is being groomed to rule Arrakis.

Filming will begin this summer in Budapest. "Dune: Part Two" will open in theaters on October 20, 2023.
