Denis Villeneuve Made Florence Pugh A Big Promise About Dune Messiah
By DANIELLE RYAN
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Denis Villeneuve revealed how he convinced to get Florence Pugh to join "Dune: Part Two."
Villeneuve promised Pugh some great things for her future playing the character — pointing to a third film based on Frank Herbert’s novel, "Dune Messiah."
The director explained that “if there is an adaptation of 'Dune Messiah,' of course Princess Irulan is one of the main characters in that story.”
Instead of relegating the female characters to the sidelines as Herbert did, Villeneuve seems intent on giving them agency and a lot more to do.
