A few months ago, Butler was cast inDune: Part Two as the major villain Feyd-Rautha, who was previously portrayed by Sting in David Lynch's 1984 Dune movie and Matt Keeslar in the 2000 miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune.
Released last fall in theaters and on HBO Max, Villeneuve's Dune was met with widespread acclaim from critics and audiences for its ambition, story, scope, and technical prowess. Dune was the first of a planned two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal 1965 novel, though Dune: Part Two was not officially greenlit until shortly after the first film released to positive reviews and strong box office returns.

Dune: Part Two has also started casting several new roles, including Butler as Feyd-Rautha, the nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) and heir apparent to his throne.
