Yahoo Lifestyle Here Are Just 25 Tweets That Prove Rebecca Ferguson In "Dune: Part Two" Is One Of The Best Performances Of The Year
🚨 There are obviously BIG spoilers ahead for Dune: Part Two! 🚨
This past weekend, Dune: Part Two hit theaters, and it has already become the movie of the year. In a single weekend, the follow-up to Denis Villeneuve's Dune had the biggest opening weekend of the year, making $81.5 million at the US domestic box office.
The incredible response to people going to movie theaters to see Dune: Part Two is already being compared to the viral "Barbenheimer" event from last summer.
The sequel picks up where Dune left off, with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) learning to live among the Fremen. With Paul growing closer to Chani (Zendaya), and the Harkonnens continually fighting with the Fremen, Paul must decide if he's ready to accept a prophecy and become the person to destroy the Harkonnens and those who betrayed his family, once and for all.
Since reviews for Dune: Part Two started hitting the internet, it's being praised as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. With the film currently holding a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 95%, it also has an average score of 4.6 stars on Letterboxd.
There's literally nothing I can write here that accurately depicts how visually stunning and incredible Dune: Part Two is. As a fan of Frank Herbert's books, I was blown away.
The whole movie is so great that it feels like it's already okay to predict this movie will be nominated for several Oscars in 2025.
I love how distinct and exceptional the performances are, including Timothée's commanding presence as Paul, Zendaya's masterful work as Chani, and Austin Butler's ruthless and chilling villain performance as Feyd-Rautha — truly everyone is exceptional.
But in particular, Rebecca Ferguson seems to be (FINALLY) having a moment on the internet. From her viral interviews on the Dune: Part Two press tour to her absolutely entrancing and award-worthy performance as Lady Jessica, people cannot get enough.
Like, Rebecca gave my favorite performance in Dune, but she somehow ups it and gives an even more exceptional, jaw-dropping, and, frankly, menacing performance in Dune: Part Two.
So, people, like me, began to take to X, formerly Twitter, to share their reactions to Rebecca and her work as Lady Jessica in the Dune franchise. So, here are some of the best tweets ranging from "we need to engrave her Oscar now" to just some hilarious jokes:
it’s been 24 hours and i’m still thinking about how in dune part two there are several scenes where zendaya and rebecca ferguson don’t even say words but the performance they give are so captivating. these two stole the movie for me, in a movie jam packed with TALENT #dune2 pic.twitter.com/KAXK6NYOT6

Rebecca Ferguson is already one of the best thespians working today but there’s something different about her work in #DunePart2. She’s mesmerizing. Alluring. Her facial expressions alone tell the story. She is so attuned with herself and you can see it in her performance. pic.twitter.com/zLgZmLBSQ6

Rebecca Ferguson has always been that girl. But her performance in this one was off the fucking charts. Underrated actress and the best casting choice in Dune in my opinion. https://t.co/pTWLu321MV

Yes the Harkonnens were scary but the movie gave center stage to the true evil bitches of the Imperium. Their quiet ruthlessness and plans within plans dictating everything. Lady Jessica terrified me pic.twitter.com/F9pO0690p7

Jessica doesn't get enough credit for defying the most powerful women in the universe because she loved Leto and wanted to give him a son, and as a result killing billions of people and changing the course of history across all of humanity. Rebecca Ferguson could also do that btw https://t.co/82oZi9pTkA

Convincing my non movie going friends to go see Dune Part 2 multiple times will not be easy but is necessary. We need to convince them one by one. We will start with the weak ones. The ones that fear us. We will make them all believe. pic.twitter.com/hOGonxlE8O

If you're looking for more Rebecca Ferguson content to consume after Dune: Part Two, might I suggest Silo, The White Queen, and Doctor Sleep. Those are three of my personal favorites.
