For part two, Villeneuve managed to snare an even larger international star cast, with alongside Timothée Chalamet (Call Me by Your Name, Wonka) and Zendaya (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Oscarwinnaars Javier Bardem and Christopher Walken; Oscargenomineerden Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Charlotte Rampling and other European top talents like Stellan Skarsgård, Léa Seydoux and Rebecca Ferguson. Part Two managed to convert two of his five Oscar nominations.
