As thrilling as that could be, in keeping with the Hollywood Reporter which broke the information, it’s not but a carried out deal. The script hasn’t been completed, so Pugh may go on that, plus filming shall be occurring across the identical time as an much more coveted function she’s up for, that of Madonna within the Madonna biopic… directed by Madonna.

That’s the function Sting performed so memorably within the David Lynch movie, so it’s loads to stay as much as.

Of course, the entire characters who survived the primary movie (which, admittedly, isn’t loads) are anticipated to come back again. And, relying on how issues go in just a few weeks, they may come again as Oscar winners as Dune: Part One is up for a number of awards on the ceremony. All of which feels like a really good group for the wonderful Pugh to hitch.
