Austin Butler Reveals He Improvised Dune Kiss with Onscreen Uncle Stellan Skarsgård: 'Game for Anything'

Austin Butler said that unsettling kiss with onscreen uncle Stellan Skarsgård in 'Dune: Part Two' was improvised. The actor also explained how he underwent vocal training to sound more like Skarsgård in the film.

At one point in the new sci-fi sequel, Butler's villainous and sadistic character Feyd-Rautha receives a promotion of sorts from his uncle, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Skarsgård). "I was working with Tim Monich, who's sort of the godfather of dialect coaches, and he helped me to really hone in on Stellan's voice and what he does in the film," Butler explained. "That scene was so wild because I have so much respect for dyou," Butler told Guardians of the Galaxy alum Bautista, 55, in an interview with USA Today.
