Her presence on the red carpet — in a bridal-esque, cream-colored garment complete with a veil-like head wrap — invites fans to speculate: Is the actress starring in the sequel?
Taylor-Joy, 27, appears in writer-directorDenis Villeneuve’s follow-up to the 2021Timothée Chalamet-starring adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965novel.
“Having seen it, this is probably one of the best movies I’ve seen in my entire life. Genuinely, Denis has killed it, it’s incredible,” she added. “This is a dream come true, you know? The books are incredible but with this cast and with Denis, it doesn’t get any better than that.”
