Florence Pugh Close to Joining “Dune: Part 2”

There are few performers of her generation quite as gifted as Florence Pugh, and now the rising star has joined Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 2 in a real casting coup. The Hollywood Reporter scoops that the Black Widow star is close to making the journey to the dangerous planet of Arrakis, which would set her in the hotly-anticipated sequel alongside Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, and Timothée Chalamet.

Dune gobbled up 10 Oscar nominations and just took home the top honors at the Visual Effects Society Awards.
