| What Character Is Austin Butler In Dune |
Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen: Villain with a Capital V (and a killer bod)
Feyd-Rautha is the bad boy nephew of the already-not-so-great Baron Harkonnen (played by the fantastic Stellan Skarsg�rd). Think of Feyd-Rautha as the Harkonnen family's answer to Justin Bieber, but with a whole lot more knives and a penchant for psychological warfare.
Here's the lowdown on this complex character:
Tip: Review key points when done.
- He's a ruthless fighter: Feyd-Rautha isn't just some trust-fund baby throwing shade from his spaceship. Dude's a formidable warrior, trained to the nines for maximum butt-kicking.
- He's got a major chip on his shoulder: Living in the shadow of his cruel uncle probably doesn't do wonders for your self-esteem. Feyd-Rautha craves power and isn't afraid to get his perfectly manicured hands dirty to get it.
- He might be even crazier than his uncle: That's saying something, considering Baron Harkonnen enjoys collecting human ears like baseball cards. Feyd-Rautha's brand of crazy leans more towards sadistic gamesmanship, which some might argue is even more unsettling.
Basically, Feyd-Rautha is the kind of villain you love to hate (and maybe even low-key admire for his commitment to the bit).
So, how will Austin Butler pull off this epic transformation?
Well, according to interviews, he went full method. We're talking months of physical training to get that ripped Harkonnen physique, and let's not forget the whole eyebrow-shaving situation (seriously, dude went there!).
Early reviews suggest Austin Butler absolutely nails the role. Looks like Elvis has left the building, and a terrifyingly charismatic villain has arrived.
