What Questions Did Austin Butler Ask About His Character?
In the BTS clip from the second Dune film, Butler is seen questioning his character and behavior. The actor asked, "We had more conversations about figuring out, 'Why does Feyd act the way he does?' That led into finding Feyd's voice, which sort of came out of this idea of living with the Baron from a very young age and seeing that this is the man who has power.” 
He further adds, "This ends up being in this brutal world where you're leading with fear rather than love. Who do you look up to, and who do you emulate? That's where that came from."
Adding more about his character, Butler shared that he met with Sting, who played the role in the early adaptation of Dune and received the outline of the villain in the movie. He said, "It was so surreal. My mind was blown. He's the best.” The Carrie Diaries’ actor added, "He came up afterward, and he was so, so, lovely and just debonair. I asked him about [starring in the original], and he said he still has the codpiece from the original [Dune], He said he's going to dry clean it and let me wear it if I want to."
What Did The Director Of Dune Reveal About Austin Butler?
The director, Denis Villeneuve, shared that he was impressed by Butler’s transformation into a psychotic serial killer. The filmmaker said that his character had a great impact on the film. Villeneuve revealed, "Austin portrayed a kind of psychotic serial killer that is a cross between a sword master and Mick Jagger. He's really brought something mesmerizing and hypnotic to the screen."
