Butler wasn’t in 2021’s Dune, though he plays an important role in Dune: Part Two, which hits theaters on March 1.
The Oscar-winning actor plays Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the youngest nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard), ruler of House Harkonnen.
Feyd-Rautha is considered the planned successor of House Harkonnen and the younger brother of Glossu Rabban Harkonnen (Dave Bautista).
Timothee Chalamet returns from Dune as Paul Atreides, who finally meets Chani (Zendaya) – a Fremen woman he has inexplicably been seeing in vivid visions.
He teams up with Chani and her Fremen people to get revenge against those who destroyed his family.
Also returning from the first Dune is Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Paul’s mentor, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Paul’s mother and Javier Bardem as Stilgar, leader of the Fremen people.
Other new additions alongside Butler includes Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV, the supreme ruler of the Known Universe, Lea Seydoux as Lady Margot Fendring, a close friend of Shaddam and Florence Pugh as the ruler’s daughter Princess Irulan.
The first film covered the first half of Frank Herbert’s epic 1965 novel, with Dune: Part Two covering the second half.

Butler can currently be seen in the Apple TV Plus mini-series Masters of the Air, where he plays Major Gale ‘Buck’ Cleven.
He is also set to play Danny Ryan in a film adaptation of Don Winslow’s 2022 novel City on Fire, which is in pre-production.
That novel is the first of a trilogy, following 2023’s City of Dreams and the author’s final novel, 2024’s forthcoming City in Ruins.
Butler will also be producing that film – his first as a producer – and it’s believed he will reprise the role in what Sony is likely hoping to be a film trilogy.
