The upcoming release of Dune: Part Two has everyone buzzing about the return to Arrakis, and a surprise member of the cast has been revealed.
Spoilers must flow like the spices from the dunes, so don’t keep reading unless you want to know who has joined the cast.
Actor Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) joined the Dune: Part Two ensemble on the red carpet in London this week ahead of its March 1 release, and Variety confirmed she is a part of the cast.
It’s possible (though not confirmed) Taylor-Joy is playing Alia Atreides, the younger sister of Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides. Alia plays a major role in the book Dune Messiah, which director Denis Villeneuve plans to adapt into a sequel film.
Movie fans were very excited about the news of Taylor-Joy’s addition to the Dune: Part Two cast and the possibility she’ll be around for another installment in the blockbuster series.
