Austin Butler Goes Bald and Shaves Off His Eyebrows in ‘Dune 2’ First Look: Meet the ‘Cruel’ and ‘Narcissistic’ Feyd-Rautha
variety.comZack Sharf Digital News Director Austin Butler is bald and terrifying in the first look at the villainous Feyd-Rautha from Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two.” Butler, a recent Oscar nominee for his performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” is one of the high profile new additions to the “Dune” cast along with Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken.
Feyd-Rautha was previously played by Sting in David Lynch’s 1984 film adaptation. Feyd-Rautha is the evil nephew of Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) and the brother of the sadistic Glossu Rabban, played by Dave Bautista in Villeneuve’s film franchise.
The two brothers are in competition to become the Harkonnen family’s successor on the planet Arrakis. In a first look at “Dune: Part Two” published on Vanity Fair earlier this month, Villeneuve only revealed Butler’s Feyd-Rautha from behind.
The director said he was waiting for later in the film’s press tour to unveil Feyd-Rautha’s face, but now it has arrived online courtesy of trailer teaser.
