Casting News: Florence Pugh and Austin Butler in Talks to Join 'Dune: Part Two'

On this week's Dune Talk we react to the big movie news: Florence Pugh and Austin Butler are reportedly in talks to join cast of Dune: Part Two, as Princess Irulan Corrino and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen respectively. Are they the right choices for these key roles? What can we expect, based on these actors' past performances? We dive into those questions, alternative casting choices, and touch on reactions from the community.

Garin, Johnny, Marcus, and Simon are also covering the recent awards season, including wins for Dune: Part One at the HCA Film Awards. There's also a newly announced board game to discuss: Arrakis: Dawn of the Fremen is coming this summer, from Gale Force Nine.
