Filming for Dune: The Sisterhood is now underway, but the cast is still growing. According to Variety, Josh Heuston and Edward Davis are joining the Dune prequel series.
Heuston will play Constantine, the illegitimate son of the Emperor (Mark Strong). His official character breakdown describes Constantine as a character grappling between his happiness and his “father’s approval.” Heuston started his entertainment career as a model but later became an actor, appearing in Heartbreak High, Dive Club, and Thor: Love and Thunder.
Davis will star as Harrow Harkonnen, a rising politician from a “once-great” family. Harrow has a “strong desire to elevate his House to its former glory,” according to the official character description. Before joining the HBO Max series, Davis starred in The Little Drummer Girl, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, and Emma.
