The Wonka actor spoke about the Elvis star while discussing the upcoming Denis Villeneuve film.
Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic Dune ends with an intense showdown between Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha, two sides of an epic war that’ll decide the fate of a trade, a planet, and a galaxy. In the film adaptation, Dune: Part Two, Atreides is once again played by Timothée Chalamet, and Feyd-Rautha, the heir-apparent to the evil Baron Harkonnen , is played by Oscar nominee Austin Butler.
“You’re talking about two of the most talented young actors of our generation facing off,” he said. “I would say Timmy’s level of preparation going into the scene—well, knowing he was fighting Austin enhanced it.” Having a contemporary to bounce off was not something Chalamet experienced on the set of Dune: Part One. There, it was less pals and more mentors. People like Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, and Josh Brolin.
