Oscar Isaac, who is sort of in everything (but most famously Poe Dameron in the new Star Wars movies), is in talks with Denis Villeneuve to star as Duke Leto Atreides in the new Dune movie.
If cast, Isaac would be joining a cast including Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Dave Bautista as Rabban, Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Charlotte Rampling as Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam and Rebecca Ferguson as Jessica Atreides.

Some commentators have noted that there is only a 16-year age gap between Isaac and Chalamet, who is playing his son, but it is worth noting that in the Dune universe characters live for considerably longer lifespans than modern-day humans and look a lot younger for longer. This is also following the precedent established by David Lynch's 1984 movie, where Kyle MacLachlan (who played Paul) was only 18 years younger than Jurgen Prochnow (playing Leto).
The new Dune movie, the first of two adapting the first book, is currently believed to be targeting a 2021 release date.
