10 Recent Movie Cameos NOBODY Saw Coming

2. Anya Taylor-Joy - Dune: Part Two

Because Dune: Part Two's cast apparently wasn't ludicrously stacked enough, Denis Villeneuve had a surprise cameo lying in wait for fans, with Anya Taylor-Joy appearing for about 30 seconds in total as Alia, Paul Atreides' (Timothée Chalamet) currently unborn sister who appears to him in fleeting visions.

It's hardly a shock to say that Taylor-Joy fits quite perfectly into the world of Dune, even if her casting required the role of Alia to be significantly aged-up from Frank Herbert's novel.

By the end of Herbert's original Dune book, Alia is already four years old, and in sequel novel Dune Messiah, she's 16 years of age - considerably younger than Taylor-Joy's 26 years at the time of shooting.

And so, Villeneuve will certainly need to come up with a creative way to explain Alia's more mature appearance in the sure-to-happen planned adaptation of Dune Messiah.

But before our final entry, if you haven't yet seen Deadpool and Wolverine, know that MAJOR SPOILERS will follow.
