Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Dune: Part Two where Christopher Walken is revealed as emperor of the known universe. The famed actor who recently turned 80 and has starred in over 140 projects during his long-spanning career, will get to immerse himself in another complex role as Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. The emperor has consistently been portrayed in previous projects, Dune (1984) and the Sci-Fi channel's Dune (2000) as a character that attempts to hold onto power with a great level of scheming and planning due to the Atreides family growing popularity and support among the great houses (aka Landsradd).
