Austin Butler says he took on the role of Feyd-Rautha in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two out of fear.
After an Oscar-nominated turn in the Elvis biopic, Austin Butler has the platform to catapult himself into various exciting roles. Among the projects set to grace audiences screens in the near future with Butler on show includes director Dennis Villeneuve’s hotly-anticipated science-fiction sequel Dune: Part Two. Butler recently told co-star Josh Brolin that terror motivated him to take up a part in the film.
In an interview conducted by Brolin for InterviewMagazine.com, Butler recalls his first meetings with Villeneuve and what drew him to the part of Feyd-Rautha. “With Dune it was interesting, because I met with Denis , and we got along very well, and started talking about the character,” he said. “At that point, we didn’t even have a script, but as we started talking about Feyd, my imagination started running, and I started to feel the terror of the challenge,” Butler continued.
After taking on an icon in the form of Elvis Presley, a role that Butler refers to as “terrifying” in the very same interview with Brolin, the 32-year-old actor now refers to such terror as motivational “jet-fuel.” In Feyd-Rautha Harkkonen, Butler has found a character that director Villeneuve has previously referred to as a "cross between a psychopath killer, an Olympic sword master, a snake, and Mick Jagger.
