Elvis Presley? More Like Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen!
That's right, folks. Austin Butler ditched the blue suede shoes for... well, probably some very uncomfortable space boots. He takes on the role of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve's epic sequel, Dune: Part Two. Feyd-Rautha, for those who haven't dived into Frank Herbert's legendary novels, is the deliciously sadistic nephew of the grotesque Baron Harkonnen (played by the ever-brilliant Stellan Skarsg�rd). This dude is a ruthless fighter, a cunning strategist, and enjoys a good ol' fashioned knife fight more than most enjoy a picnic.
So, how did the King of Rock and Roll end up as a villain in a space opera? Well, that's the beauty of Hollywood, baby! Apparently, director Denis Villeneuve saw a hidden darkness in Austin Butler, a potential for villainy lurking beneath those puppy dog eyes. And let's be honest, wouldn't it be fun to see Elvis throw down with laser swords? Just imagine the headlines: "Jailhouse Rock turns into Sandworm Stomp!"

From Blue Suede to Brutal: How Did Austin Prepare?
Word on the street is that Austin Butler went full method for this role. We're not talking about peanut butter sandwiches and a Hawaiian vacation (a la method Elvis, perhaps?). This was hardcore. Apparently, he underwent months of intense physical training to embody Feyd-Rautha's formidableness. We're also pretty sure he traded in his hair gel for... well, no hair at all. Feyd-Rautha is a bold dude, rocking a shaved head and a complete lack of eyebrows.
So, is Austin Butler unrecognizable? Let's just say, if you saw him on the street, you might not ask for a selfie (unless you're into that kind of thing). But trust us, under all that makeup and shaved head lurks the same charismatic actor who stole hearts as Elvis.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
