10 Actors Who Just Played Against Type (And KILLED It)

Now to be fair to Austin Butler, Dune: Part Two wasn't the very first time that he's played a murderous psychopath, having previously portrayed Tex Watson in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and all.

All the same, Butler clearly has a casting type - if you need a handsome young guy with a ton of swagger, he's your man, hence why he was cast as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and so thoroughly crushed it.

But Butler gave a polar opposite performance in the Dune sequel as villain Feyd-Rautha - one which required him not to lean on his charms and looks, but enmesh himself deep in the mind of a cunning maniac.

Take away all of the film's big-budget spectacle and it's still a remarkable acting showcase for its leads, with Butler's piercing gaze and physical intensity making Feyd far more of an imposing villain than he ever was in the 1984 David Lynch adaptation - as played by Sting.
