“Heartbroken” Tim Blake Nelson Is Keeping His Dune: Part Two Role Secret
Long considered to be one of the best character actors in the business, Tim Blake Nelson has appeared in a long line of memorable movies. Unfortunately for Nelson, however, he was cut from Dune: Part Two. During an interview he gave around the movie’s release, Nelson refused to reveal what role he would have played in the movie if his part wasn’t cut.
In March 2024, Nelson was interviewed by MovieWeb. While Nelson mostly spoke to MovieWeb about his movie that was released at that time, Asleep in My Palm, the subject of Dune: Part Two came up. The first thing about his involvement in Dune: Part Two that Nelson wanted to make clear was that he wouldn’t reveal what role he was going to play.
“I don’t think I’m at liberty to say what the scene was. I’d leave that to Denis [Villeneuve] if he wants to talk about it.”

However, the rest of Nelson’s comments make it seem like he isn’t telling because he wants to be respectful of Dune: Part Two’s director, Denis Villeneuve.

No matter what Nelson’s motivation for remaining silent about his role in the movie, he was willing to talk about his role being cut in general.
While talking to MovieWeb, Nelson was willing to admit he was really disappointed to be deleted from Dune: Part Two. That said, Nelson also wanted to make it clear that Villeneuve had to do what he thought was right for the movie.
“Then he had to cut it because he thought the movie was too long. And I am heartbroken over that, but there’s no hard feelings.”

Fans May Never Learn Who Tim Blake Nelson Was Going To Be In Dune: Part Two
When Dune: Part Two was about to be released, the movie’s cast and director took part in a promotional tour. With so many talented artists talking about the movie, many fascinating facts about the making of Dune: Part Two were released.
There is one thing that nobody involved with Dune: Part Two revealed while promoting the film, however. None of the people who were promoting Dune: Part Two revealed who Tim Blake Nelson was supposed to be in the movie.
However, it initially seemed like Dune fans would learn about Nelson’s role when the movie gets released on home media.
Was Carmen Electra Nearly Cut From Scary Movie Because The Movie Studio Thought She Was A Bad Actor?
Scary Movie wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t for Carmen Electra’s memorable scene.
When major movies are released on home media or on streaming services, the studios often want to do whatever they can to attract viewers. For that reason, the studios often release deleted scenes on home media releases to encourage fans to watch.
However, Denis Villeneuve pledged Dune: Part Two’s deleted scenes will never be seen. Villeneuve revealed during an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, why he won’t release the movie’s deleted scenes.
“I’m a strong believer that when it’s not in the movie, it’s dead. Sometimes I remove shots and I say, ‘I cannot believe I’m cutting this out.’ I feel like a samurai opening my gut. It’s painful, so I cannot go back after that and create a Frankenstein and try to reanimate things that I killed. It’s too painful. When it’s dead, it’s dead, and it’s dead for a reason.”
All things considered, it seems to be a strong possibility that fans will never know who Nelson was going to portray in Dune: Part Two.
Unless Villeneuve or one Dune: Part Two’s other stars speak out on the subject, the only thing fans can do is look into the popular theory about Nelson’s role. While the theory is completely unconfirmed, many fans who are knowledgeable about Dune believe that Nelson may have been cast as Count Hasimir Fenring.
