EXCLUSIVE: Dune: Prophecy actor Mark Strong opens up on his character and entering into the DUNE-universe; says “Unlike typical emperors, Javicco…”
Opening up on the premise of the show, Mark shared, “Interestingly, the first episode revolves around the wedding of his daughter to this impossibly young boy that she’s been paired with. This is a reflection of his own marriage to Natalya Arat. Though they’ve made it work, their relationship is more of a partnership than a romantic bond, which leads to challenges. Their differing backgrounds shape their attitudes toward their responsibilities as the royal couple.”
He further continued, “My character is surrounded by powerful women, including his daughter, who wants to join the sisterhood and become a truth-sayer. The show focuses on the Bene Gesserit, highlighting both their supernatural power and their hidden influence behind the throne. Unlike typical emperors, Javicco isn’t in full control-he has insecurities and doubts about his ability to manage what’s happening around him, despite how it may appear. This is what drew me i to the character”
Dune: Prophecy is an American science fiction series developed by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker.
