Austin Butler is currently making waves for his lead performance in Elvis, but that won’t be the last fans see of the actor. Butler is currently filming Dune: Part Two with director Denis Villeneuve. He will be playing Feyd-Rautha, the favored nephew of Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard), leader of the rival house to House Atreides. In the books, he is more cunning than his brutish brother, “Beast” Rabban (Dave Bautista), and he ultimately becomes the primary antagonist to Paul Atreides, who will once again be played by Timothée Chalamet. Butler recently appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and teased working with Chalamet.
