The sequel to Dune may also double as a Little Women reunion.

Florence Pugh is in talks for a key role in Dune: Part 2, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. The Oscar-nominated Black Widow star would be snagging the role of Princess Irulan Corrino, meaning she'd be romantically involved with Timothée Chalamet's character, Paul. The two actors previously worked together on Greta Gerwig's Little Women, which earned Pugh an Oscar nomination.
