In the supporting cast, neither the traitorous Dr Wellington Yueh (Chang Chen) nor Piter De Vries ( The Suicide Squad's David Dastmalchian) made it out alive, creating two more vacant positions in the large Dune ensemble cast. On the other hand, there were some major deaths that will take several big characters out of the running for now, most notably Oscar Isaac's Duke Leto, Jason Momoa's Duncan Idaho and Sharon Duncan-Brewster's Dr Liet-Kynes. We can likely expect returns for the villainous Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard), his nephew Count Glossu Rabban (Dave Bautista) and the Emperor's truthsayer, Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam (Charlotte Rampling). The brutal destruction of House Atreides left the fate of some of its closest allies up in the air, but if Villeneuve stays loyal to the book then we'll likely see more from Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck) and Stephen McKinley Henderson (Thufir Hawat) too. They found refuge in a Fremen tribe that counts Stilgar (Skyfall's Javier Bardem) and Chani ( Spider-Man: No Way Home's Zendaya) among its number, so expect both characters to reappear in the sequel. It's all but guaranteed that Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson will return as Paul Atreides and his mother, Lady Jessica, who narrowly escaped execution in the first film.
