‘Dune: Part Two’ Taps Christopher Walken As Emperor Shaddam IV In Denis Villeneuve’s Sci-Fi Epic
“Dune: Part Two” director Denis Villeneuve has finally found an actor to play Emperor Shaddam IV, the shadowy villainous figure that rules the “Dune” galaxy and essentially was behind the massacre of House Atreides as he saw Duke Leto Atreides as an impending threat to his throne. Deadline reports that Oscar-winner Christopher Walken has landed the role, which is near perfect casting given the actor’s great body of work playing ruthless but quirky villains.
