Although Dune: Part 2 officially wrapped principal photography last month, we're still finding out about new additions to the cast.

THR (via SFFGazette.com) is reporting that Tim Blake Nelson (HBO's Watchmen, Cabinet of Curiosities) will appear in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi sequel in an undisclosed role.

No details on Nelson's character were provided, but since only one principal character from Frank Herbert's novel has yet to be cast, we'd say there's a decent chance he's playing Count Hasimir Fenring, the Mentat husband of Lady Margot Fenring, who will be played by Lea Seydoux.

Nelson debuted as Doctor Samuel Sterns in The Incredible Hulk, and we recently learned that he's set to reprise the role for the upcoming Captain America: New World Order, with The Leader set as one of the sequel's main antagonists.

Dune: Part 2's other new cast additions include Austin Butler as Feyd Rautha, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, the legendary Christopher Walken as The Emperor, and Lea Seydoux as Lady Margot Fenring. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård, Josh Brolin, and Dave Bautista will reprise their roles from the first film.

The synopsis reads: “Part Two will focus on Paul assembling a massive army of Fremen to combat the ruthless Harkonnen, as he essentially becomes a mythical messiah figure to the inhabitants of Arrakis.”

Dune: Part Two was recently pushed back from October 20, 2023 to November 17, 2023.

@tmp3 - Have you seen Old Henry yet? He's fantastic in it!

The more time goes by, the more I wish Bucky was the new Cap. I just think it's way more interesting. Throw in Falcon and Yelena (as a proxy for Natasha) and you have Brubakers Cap. Could have been great. Sin as the villain. Bucky having to try and be worthy of the mantle after all the things Winter Soldier did.

I like Sam, but Sam as Cap does nothing for me.

@TheManWithoutFear - wtf does this have to do with Dune

Hey @bobevanz do me a favour, can you read me the first 5 words in the headline? Because I think they might have influenced where my head went.

Can't wait to see him re-join the MCU.

I had never seen the original Dune before the remake was announced so I did a quick watch of it before I saw the part 1 remake. I'm a sucker for films that have grand scopes and interplanetary travel so I really liked how well the remake translated to the new film tech we have now. Seeing the sand worms come for the first time in the movie you really feel a sense of awe. And it's also a nice change from the usual science fiction we get these days.

Read the book, watch the newer version. Take your adhd medicine and sit down.. Denis is the best at what he does

Liked him in the Ballad of Scruggs.

These Dune movies are a gift to cinema

I really hope there’s a good reason we haven’t seen The Leader in 15 [frick]ing years. And not this “oh he was manipulating in the shadows the whooooooooole time”.
