Dune 2: Florence Pugh officially joins the cast of the film

There part 2 Of Dunes has been in development for some time, after the crackling release of the eponymous and successful first feature film nominated for nine Academy Awards, which forms the basis of what is expected to be a second potential colossal, with some goodies already presented in advance such as the announcement official of the presence in the cast of the famous actress Florence Pugh.

The face of the young British artist entered the memories of many fans of the film world for the poignant how visceral interpretation of the protagonist of the film Midsommar- The village of the damned. In addition to this very important role in horror films, Pugh has also played in complex roles but with decidedly less macabre colors as in Little Women.

The role of the lethal killer is decidedly different Yelena Belova in last year’s film about Black Widow (Black Widow) and later also in the concluding parts of the original series on Disney +, namely Hawkeye in which he also played a role of some importance. In short, we are talking about an actress from great talent and a long experience in the world of cinema.

In Dunes Part 2Florence Pugh will play the role of Princess Irulan, daughter of Emperor Padisha Shaddam IV. The young Irulan in the literature of the brilliant as well as visionary Frank Herbert and of the related 3 different cinematographic representations, was a leading figure, representing a character that seems to be explored once again even in the latest reinterpretation of Denis Villeneuve.

We therefore expect that Pugh’s talent will again be put to use by the challenges imposed by one of the most famous ever. For those unfamiliar with the Dune series and in particular the first film, we are talking about a story of great charm initially set on the desert alien planet of Arrakis.

The events of the series are very rich in sudden twists, betrayals and wars on a large scale, in a narrative context extremely well defined by the wise pen of Herbert. A film that we hope to see soon in 2023.
