@Florence_Pugh @RealChalamet @dunemovie If a deal is made, Pugh would be the first newcomer to join the returning, A-list cast, and re-team with #LittleWomen co-star Timothée Chalamet thr.cm/JjB6Fwt

@Florence_Pugh @RealChalamet @dunemovie Villeneuve's #Dune sequel will resume from where the first one left off, with Paul Atreides (Chalamet) fighting with the Fremen to free the desert planet of Arrakis from the grips of House Harkonnen thr.cm/JjB6Fwt

@Florence_Pugh @RealChalamet @dunemovie @BardemAntarctic @Zendaya #Dune 2 is casting three new parts, including Emperor Shaddam IV, who sent the Atreides family to Arrakis, and Feyd-Rautha, the nephew of the baron who heads the Harkonnen.

Pugh is being courted to play Princess Irulan, the daughter of the Emperor thr.cm/JjB6Fwt

@Florence_Pugh @RealChalamet @dunemovie @BardemAntarctic @Zendaya Several obstacles remain, however, before any deal can be made for Pugh, primarily the script and scheduling. Pugh is also in contention for the Madonna biopic, and it is unclear when that would go, should she nab that role
