Four new promo stills for Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part 2 have found their way online, giving us another look at two key characters who will be introduced in the sci-fi sequel.
In one of the images, we see Austin Butler (Elvis) as the evil Feyd-Rautha getting disturbingly close to the mysterious Lady Margot Fenring, who will be played by No Time To Die and Crimes of the Future star Léa Seydoux.
Though Lady Margot does appear in Frank Herbert's novel, she doesn't have very much to do, and Villeneuve recently confirmed that the character will have an expanded role in Part 2.
“Margot Fenring is a Bene Gesserit sister, but will be a secret agent in the movie. It was very playful to work with Léa. It’s a character full of surprises.”
In the book, Margot poses as an ally of the Harkonnens while secretly providing Lady Jessica with vital information, including genetic material from Feyd as part of the larger Bene Gesserit breeding plan.
Check out the stills, which also feature Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya), below.
