Just days away from its release, we're still learning about new cast members for Dune: Part Two. Variety reported that Anya Taylor-Joy is in the movie and plays a "major" role, following Taylor-Joy's own confirmation that she's in the movie.

Her part was deemed to be a spoiler, but if you're really intent on finding out who she plays, you can use the internet to get your answers. We won't spoil it here.

Taylor-Joy appeared at the Dune: Part Two premiere in London on Thursday as well. She's just the latest big name to appear in the film, joining Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgard, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Christopher Walken.

Taylor-Joy has more projects coming in 2024 beyond Dune: Part Two, as she's set to star as the title character in the upcoming Mad Max movie Furiosa.

Dune: Part Two releases in theaters on March 1. The 2021 movie earned more than $400 million worldwide during the pandemic and was also released on Max at the same time.

Director Denis Villeneuve has ideas for a third Dune movie as well but it remains to be seen if it will be made. The series is based on the Frank Herbert books, the first installment of which was released in 1965.
