Florence Pugh in talks to join Dune: Part Two as Princess Irulan

March 9, 2022 by Liam Waddington

With Dune: Part Two, the highly-anticipated sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, currently in pre-production, Deadline is reporting that Florence Pugh is in talks to join the cast.

Although Pugh’s role in the film is currently unconfirmed as of writing this, the outlet is reporting that she will play Princess Irulan Corrino, the eldest daughter of Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. The character did not appear in the latest adaptation, but was mentioned by name, and was portrayed by José Ferrer in the 1984 David Lynch film.

The Oscar-nominated actress is coming off a big year that included her introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Black Widow, where she played Natasha Romanoff’s sister, Yelena. Pugh would later reprise the role of the fan-favourite character in Marvel’s Hawkeye series on the Disney+ streaming service.

Pugh is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which also stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr. The actress has also recently finished the upcoming Netflix movie The Wonder and her next film Don’t Worry Darling directed by Olivia Wilde is releasing this September.

A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

Dune is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049) and sees Timothee Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) leading the cast alongside Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout), Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Dave Bautista (Avengers: Infinity War), Stellan Skarsgard (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Charlotte Rampling (Red Sparrow), Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Javier Bardem (Loving Pablo), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences), Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Sex Education), and Chang Chen (The Assassin).
