Surprise! Anya Taylor-Joy Confirms ‘Dune: Part Two’ Role at London Premiere


In the days leading up to the 'Dune: Part Two' premiere, rumors began swirling that Anya Taylor-Joy is part of Denis Villeneuve’s star-studded cast.

And to top it all off, the Emmy-nominated and SAG- and Golden Globe-winning actor made a shock appearance at the London premiere, posing on the sand duned red carpet with her fashion-forward cast mates. Taylor-Joy’s surprise casting adds to the film’s stacked roster of stars, as Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, Souheila Yacoub and Christopher Walken join the franchise. The clip sees “The Queens Gambit” and “The Menu” star shaving her head to take on the role of Imperator Furiosa – the fierce war captain that Charlize Theron played in the 2015 action film — and follows the character as she comes into her own after being taken away from the Green Place of Many Mothers and is immersed into a sinister world.
