Yahoo Lifestyle Here's What "Dune" Characters Would Look Like In Real Life Based On Their Book Descriptions
Dune: Part Two has finally hit theaters, and people are absolutely raving about how much they love the movie.
This film is the second installment in the franchise and picks up where Dune left off — both are based on the first book in Frank Herbert's series.
And of course, one of the best parts is this all-star cast with fan favorites like Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler, and Florence Pugh.
