Rebecca Ferguson Wraps Up ‘Dune Part Three’ Filming, Praises Phenomenal Script
Rebecca Ferguson confirmed to IndieWire that she has concluded filming her scenes for Dune Part Three. Her role in the third installment is minor, as her character has limited appearances in the source material. Ferguson expressed uncertainty about whether her character was always intended for the film or if director Denis Villeneuve developed a specific concept for her inclusion. She praised the script, describing it as “phenomenal,” while acknowledging the challenge of adapting such a dense book into a cohesive film narrative. Ferguson also commended Villeneuve for maintaining a strong connection to the source material. She will rejoin returning principal cast members including Timothée Chalamet (Paul Atreides), Zendaya (Chani), Florence Pugh (Princess Irulan), Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck), and Jason Momoa (Duncan Idaho). Additionally, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke are set to join the cast, suggesting Villeneuve may incorporate elements from other books within Frank Herbert’s Dune series.
