Austin Butler Says 'Dune: Part Two' Set Was So Hot 'It Became a Microwave’


Austin Butler says the 'Dune: Part Two' set was so hot that people passed out from heat stroke, comparing it to a 'microwave'

Butler’s very first scene on the Dune sequel was a gladiator match involving his character Feyd-Rautha as he battles fighters to prove he should be his uncle’s heir, taking place on Harkonnen’s home planet of Giedi Prime. When it comes to getting into character, Butler made sure to pay close attention to how Stellan Skarsgård, who plays Baron Harkonnen, spoke in the original Dune movie. After starring in 2022’s Elvis, the actor made waves for changing his natural voice to one that resembles the King of Rock n’ Roll.
