Florence Pugh’s Role Is One of The Most Important Ones InDune: Part Two!
It is no secret thatFlorence Pughwill be portraying the role of Princess Irulan inDune: Part Two.Irulan’s character works as a narrator of the story but is also deeply involved in the story. In the books, every chapter is prefaced by Princess Irulan’s entry as a de facto narrator of the story.
In a recent post onX, Florence Pugh’s statements were recorded about how director Denis Villeneuve approached her for the role of Princess Irulan. Stating that Villeneuve apologized profusely, Pugh revealed that she was just happy to watch the director work on his magnum opus, and it was his dream come true!

“It didn’t matter how big my role was… When I chatted to Denis, he kept apologizing and saying ‘In this one, it’s really not a big part. I won’t be offended [if you say no].’ I was like ‘I don’t care! I just want to come and watch you work. This is a dream.’”
In the books, Princess Irulan is horrified by the idea of Chani (Zendaya’s character) getting impregnated by Paul Atreides. Interfering the lore, Irulan feeds Chani infertility pills, but Chani’s ancient diet allows her to become pregnant. Zendaya’s character finds death during childbirth, which is exactly what Irulan wanted, and thus, is one of the major characters in theDunefranchise despite less screen time.
