A really glad Worldwide Ladies’s Day to our favourite little lady of all of them: Florence Pugh, who's now in talks to board Dune 2 alongside Little Ladies hubby Timothée Chalamet. The Hollywood Reporterstories that Pugh has been tapped to doubtlessly star as Princess Irulan, daughter of the Emperor. Now, the large query: How will she steadiness a voyage to Arrakis with a Madonna Boot Camp on the similar time?
The British actress can be the primary new star to board the sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-nominated sci-fi epic primarily based on Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel collection of the identical title.

Get away the foot molds, Pugh, you’ve received to make him fall in love with you once more.
Seeing as Dune’s first iteration hooked up a hearty roster of Hollywood’s finest expertise, Academy Award-nominated Pugh looks as if an excellent match within the position—and we’ve already seen her witty on-screen chemistry with Chalamet. That’s key for Princess Irulan, who turns into entangled in a love triangle with Paul. (Sure, the Little Ladies parallels are all over the place.)
For many who haven’t learn the thousand-pound books in all their glory: Dune 2 will decide up proper the place the primary movie left off, as an exhausted Paul Atreides (Chalamet) joins forces with Zendaya’s Fremen to free the desert planet Arrakis from the swindling Home Harkonnen. Princess Irulan is one in all three main roles Dune 2 might want to solid, alongside Emperor Shaddam IV (who fatefully sends the Atreides household to Arrakis within the first place) and Feyd-Rautha (the oily baron’s wily nephew and chief of Home Harkonnen).
However mega house worms aren’t the roadblocks in the best way. For one, that grueling Madonna biopic may affect Pugh’s scheduling potential, ought to she land the career-changing position. Additional, the script continues to be in progress, and THR stories that the actress is tapping her toes as she waits for the most recent draft. Legendary is hoping to shoot Dune 2 this summer season—which, sure, will have an effect on Euphoria’s capturing schedule, too. The celebs are busy!
