Christopher Walken has been cast in 'Dune: Part 2' as Emperor Shaddam IV.
Christopher Walken joined Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-winning adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel Dune as Emperor Shaddam IV, who rules over the known universe, reveals The Hollywood Reporter. The Emperor got mentioned several times in the first half of the book adaptation, which hit theaters in 2021. However, now Walken is set to put a face to the name, as the deadly enemy of House Atreides becomes a central player in the highly-anticipated Dune: Part Two.

As for Butler, he will be playing Feyd-Rautha, a favorite character that fans missed in the first half of the story. Feyd-Rautha is the nephew of House Harkonnen’s Baron , trained to take over the throne once his uncle passes away.
Dune: Part Two’s release date is set for October 20, 2023. There’s also a spinoff series in development focused on the secret sisterhood known as the Bene Gesserit.
