Dune: Part Two may still be months away from release, but there’s already buzz surrounding Austin Butler’s bald look in the movie.
In this highly anticipated sequel, Butler will be taking on the cueball role previously played by musician Sting in David Lynch’s 1984 version of Dune.
However, the viral poster featuring a bald Austin Butler is not real, but a convincing fan-made photo.
While some may argue that Butler’s character, Feyd-Rautha, should look intimidating and freakish, many fans are hoping for a more hot and sexy interpretation, similar to Sting’s portrayal complete with a metal diaper.
The news of Butler’s bald look broke when footage from Dune: Part Two premiered at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
Critics described his appearance as eerie, sparking even more curiosity and discussion.
Despite the fact that the fake image of Austin Butler’s Dune look spread across social media, it’s important to remember that it’s not an accurate representation of the final film.
Fans can look forward to seeing other stars like Florence Pugh, Javier Bardem, and Timothée Chalamet in the trailer, sans tank top.
While there are hopes that Butler’s character will have a less cro-magnon appearance in the final film, the contrast between his bald head and Chalamet’s flowing locks already adds a certain level of intimidation that fans are excited to see played out on screen..
