There are times when it's obvious what delights Austin Butler, like when he's speaking about working on Dune: Part Two. Not long after the credits rolled on the first film, in 2021, there was furious speculation over who'd be cast as the big bad, Feyd-Rautha. Elvis wasn't even out yet, but Villeneuve had seen footage from Luhrmann. "I was floored," Villeneuve says. "Austin was at the top of my list." The two clicked immediately, talking about what the director envisioned for Feyd-Rautha's look—bald with no eyebrows, teeth painted black, and about twenty-five pounds of muscle added to Butler's usual frame. Butler enjoyed the process of bulking up more than he expected. "When you feel powerful," he says, "that's a good feeling." |
