Léa Seydoux to capture Lady Margot's complexity

Lady Margot is a character with a complex journey and Léa Seydoux's portrayal is expected to capture her depth and nuance. As a vital ally to House Atreides against the Harkonnens, Seydoux is expected to demonstrate both strength and emotional depth in order to captivate the audience.

As seen in her performances in Blue Is The Warmest Color, Midnight In Paris, and The Grand Budapest Hotel, Seydoux has a way of working her magnetic presence into her roles on screen.

In the Frank Herbert 1965 novel, Lady Margot plays the wife of Mentat Count Hasimir Fenring and a true follower of the Sisterhood. She represents House Minor, long associated with House Corrino. Margot coaxed Shaddam Corrino IV to get married to Reverend Mother Anirul Corrino, as the Sisterhood was aware that that would not lead to a marriage yielding a son.

The relationship with the Atreides began when Lady Margot was in Arrakis during her temporary governorship as the wife of Fenring. She had left Lady Jessica a cryptic message warning her about Harkonnen's treason. As per the novel, the decoded message hastily sent said,

"Your son and Duke are in immediate danger. A bedroom has been designed to attract your son. The H loaded it with death traps to be discovered, leaving one that may escape detection. I do not know the exact nature of the menace, but it has something to do with a bed. "

It continues,

"The threat to your Duke involves defection of a trusted companion or lieutenant. The H plan to give you as a gift to a minion. To the best of my knowledge, this conservatory is safe. Forgive that I cannot tell more. My sources are few as my Count is not in the pay of the H"

Her association with Paul began in his early years, when he shared training with the Count. Léa Seydoux's portrayal of this pivotal character is sure to add to the range of talent in the upcoming epic sci-fi saga.

Dune: Part 2 is expected to be another star addition to Denis Villeneuve's filmography, along with the first part, which had ten Oscar nominations to its credit, including Best Picture.
