Dune star Austin Butler links up with popular English musician and actor Sting who famously played Feyd-Rautha in David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation.

Dune: Part 2 star Austin Butler meets former Feyd-Rautha actor, Sting, at the premiere of the adaptation’s highly anticipated sequel. Based on Frank Herbert’s science fiction novel of the same name, the Denis Villeneuve directed adaptation follows the story of Paul Atriedes (Timothée Chalamet), an ambitious and gifted boy who must secure the future of his noble family on a desert planet called Arrakis. The upcoming Dune: Part Two, is set for release on March 1 and will continue the story of Paul, as he journeys to avenge his family.

Like Butler, Sting was featured more in the second half of Lynch’s Dune, culminating with Paul’s final battle. However, Butler will not be wearing Sting’s iconic and bizarre costume. Butler is known for immersing himself in the various eccentric roles he’s played over the years, and with the forthcoming Dune: Part Two, it would be interesting to see how he interprets one of Dune’s most pivotal characters.
