Austin Butler dialed back on method acting when he took on the villainous role of Feyd for Dune: Part Two.

“When the camera was on, it was like you were possessed. When the camera was off, you were still maybe 25 or 30 percent Feyd,” director Denis Villeneuve said to Butler, 32, during a joint interview with the Los Angeles Times published on Thursday, February 22. “Just enough to still be present and focus, but removed enough that you didn’t kill anybody on set.”
