In a surprise reveal, Anya Taylor-Joy made an appearance at the world premiere of Dune 2, hosted in London – and in the process confirmed rumors that she has a role in the sci-fi sequel.
If you were in any doubt about the actor definitely appearing in the film, Variety confirmed the news after Taylor-Joy hit the red carpet. Now, we won't tell you who Taylor-Joy is playing in the film, since that would be a spoiler, but rest assured she is part of the cast.
The Dune 2 line-up is absolutely stacked, featuring the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, Christopher Walken, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgård, Léa Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, and more. Denis Villeneuve returns to direct.
The film gathered rave reactions online after the premiere, with the words "magnum opus" cropping up more than once.
"It's funny, I was asked this morning, 'Is she like any of the other feisty characters that I've played before?'" Pugh recently told our sister publication SFX magazine of her character Princess Irulan. "Whilst she may be internally, I think she's probably one of the quietest characters I've ever played. She is someone that is constantly listening, and always learning, and that was something that I was so excited [about] when I was reading the script. I always acknowledged that she was always aware, maybe when other people weren’t aware, that she was recording probably internally what was going on. She's calculated."

It looks like Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista could one day return to the MCU, but only if a bigger and better role is offered to him.
Malevelon Creek, Helldivers 2's most infamous Automaton planet, has sadly fallen to the robotic forces.
CEO of Colossal Order, Mariina Hallikainen, has revealed that her «biggest regret» about the studio's recent release, Cities: Skylines 2, was a lack of mod support. With Cities: Skylines 2 now just over four months old, community frustration at the state of the game remains extremely high.
On a planet that is not our own, in a timeline very different from ours, the last heirs of aristocracy cling to the shadows of a secluded mountain valley known as the Dramark. It’s only deep within the valley that a tiny, proud crust of civilization can be kept hidden from the Ruin (that’s what people call the light of the dying star that has been changing the countryside and its people for generations, turning them into monsters). Meanwhile, long-dead mechanical constructs called syllokinetics, automatons that were to be the people’s saviors, sit and wither on the horizon. Elsewhere, the Dramark’s lavish estates and their downstairs staff carry on as best they can.
Superman: Legacy star has revealed her thoughts on the new Superman suit that David Corenswet will be wearing in the DC Studios movie.
Kevin Costner could have phoned it in. Yellowstone, TV maven Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western melodrama Paramount Network, was riding high in the ratings going into 2023, and Costner had a strong platform in the leading role. But during negotiations for season 6, the 69-year-old actor walked away. He had other dreams: specifically, directing a four-part Western epic titled Horizon. Costner has blamed creative differences with Paramount and Sheridan over reported flaring tensions on the Yellowstone set, but ultimately, as he said in a recent divorce proceeding, he left over scheduling conflicts — with his own movie. (Next time you don’t want to follow through on previously made plans, feel free to use this same excuse.)
As the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 approaches, it may not command the same attention it once did, especially with some major brands scaling back their presence. Nevertheless, for devoted tech enthusiasts, particularly those favoring brands like Motorola, Google and Samsung, MWC remains a highly anticipated event.
The Tensor G3, like its predecessors, has likely disappointed potential buyers who eyed the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro as their next daily driver, but its sub-par performance and frequent throttling are attributes that Google has yet to address. However, as much as people like to talk about this chipset’s shortcomings, one feature is yet to be supported by any other smartphone SoC; AV1 encoding at 4K 60FPS. While this is an impressive addition to have, there is still one drawback that we have to discuss.
The Fantastic Four movie is rumored to be searching for a comedian to play an uncast character. However, one potential casting choice isn't sitting right with pretty much anybody, and they know they can do better.
Sker Ritual is a big shift from the atmospheric stealth horror Maid of Sker that came out a couple of years ago. Designed to be played either solo or in online co-op, Sker Ritual takes the setting and backstory of the original game and completely reimagines the gameplay and atmosphere by making it a wave based FPS with score bonuses, upgrades and even some roguelike aspects. Having spent some time in the Early Access version and tried out the different maps, here’s what I think so far.
