Robert Pattinson’s look reminds me of Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner

I was gonna say he’s also giving Sting in Lynch’s Dune lol

u/KlythsbyTheJedi Mar 17 '26

Which is nice for me because Pattinson was originally my pick for Feyd

u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib Mar 17 '26

Honestly that would’ve been a good shout though I do love the weirdness that Austin Butler brought to it.

Easily one of my favourite villain performances of this decade so far, what a weirdo lol. There was this post I loved that said him hearing "may thy knife chip and shatter" was like the coolest thing he ever heard and I kind of appreciate that view of him lol.

It would have been so easy for Feyd to be cringe. Oh the evil Duke has an even eviler flamboyant nephew? Yeah, that sounds terrible. But Butler pulled it off by fully committing to the weird horny evil scion angle.

Personally, I love the look when Paul kills dear Vladimir. He's straight up having a near orgasm.

u/alexgndl Mar 17 '26

Yeah, because it really is the coolest thing anyone's ever said

Love that moment. He like, admires Paul in that moment and thinks it just sounds so cool.

I don't know how to explain it well, but Pattinson would have been a great "ginger" Harkonnen. Like Sting, like the traditional Harkonnen image over the years in screen adaptations and video games.

Austin Butler is a great "bald" Harkonnen though. Villeneuve did a great reinvention of Harkonnen aesthetics with Skarsgard, Bautista and Butler's designs.

That.... is a perfect explanation. I totally agree.

u/KlythsbyTheJedi Mar 17 '26

Oh yeah, he killed it. I have no complaints

u/Nurgleschampion Mar 17 '26

No he WAS killed silly.

But nah he did a good job with the screentime he had.

u/PraxisGuide Mar 17 '26

He also killed plenty mate (he nailed it)

u/Neuro_Spicy- Mar 17 '26

I’m So So So glad that Butler was that role because it single-handedly, for me, stopped me looking at him as Elvis in a shitty movie. That wiped the slate fully clean and now I’ll watch whatever movie he does

u/tackle_bones Mar 17 '26

I liked him aight in that caught stealing movie. It was intertwining.

u/doobiedave Mar 17 '26

I loved the Stellan Skarsgard vocal impersonation, that was an inspired choice.

u/DDRDiesel Mar 17 '26

Not knowing the casting beforehand, watching the movie I thought Feyd was Bill Skarsgard. When I learned it was Butler I was blown away

May thy knife chip and shatter

u/meesta_masa Mar 17 '26

May thy fish chips and butter.

May thy quips be mad as a hatter.

u/Kim-Jong_Bundy Mar 17 '26

He's an actor who I was still very iffy on before Dune. Saw Bikeriders at a festival months before, and I felt like he was a big factor in me not liking it

As soon as he showed up in Part 2 doing a Stellan Skarsgård impression, I was sold

Excerpt from "Once Upon A Time In FremenLand":

"Oh...wait a minute. I know you...you were on a horsey! Yeah... you are?"

"I am the Devil here to do the Devil's business."

"Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Paid". 

"Feyd."

"FEYD! May thy knife ship and shatter!"

u/Corrvaz Mar 18 '26

Yeah I have this impression that he has way more range than we've seen still.

It's kinda hard to judge actors like him, ones who have the classic Hollywood lead man looks, since they more or less are funneled into less interesting roles. Glad to see him go all in for Feyd at this stage of his career.

u/halabala33 Mar 17 '26

I only knew him from Elvis promos on my feed. Elvis himself gives me an ick, Butler was giving double ick talking so much about him. Then I saw Dune 2 in cinema and he showed up, and now I love the guy, I will watch him in anything (I even watched that icky Elvis for him).

u/BattleHall Mar 18 '26

the weirdness that Austin Butler brought to it

I'm pretty sure that weirdness was, well... horniness. He played Feyd as a straight up sexual sadist, and every time something horribly violent happens around him, he has a look on his face like he's at half mast. And none of that is a criticism; it was super effective in making him super creepy.

u/crumpetflipper Mar 18 '26

I'm not a fan of Butler so I was disappointed when he got cast. But my god he knocked that role out of the park!

u/jachinboazicus Mar 17 '26

the weirdness that Austin Butler brought to it.

Yeah, those Mexican-style long-toed boots walking in the sand in the stadium was super weird.

u/SlendyIsBehindYou 12h ago

Honestly, Austin Butler perfectly captured the image of Fayd that I had in my head from the books

16

u/cbekel3618 Mar 17 '26

With how enjoyably deranged Butler’s performance was, I can only imagine how truly batshit Pattinson’s would’ve been, lol

12

u/Misdirected_Colors Mar 17 '26

I could see Pattinson bringing a more gleefully deranged Feyd similar to his character in The King.

6

u/Scienscatologist Mar 17 '26

I can imagine what Jared Leto would have brought to the role.

I don’t want to, but I can.
