through time. The actor is lauded for his performances in The Pianist,
with projects like King Kong, Predator, and Detachment

Brody’s Oscar bagging may have not constituted a shift in history as of yet but with the pace the actor goes at, Best Actor for The Brutalist
being his second most, it will not be long before the globe receives news of a hat-trick, and then a four-time, half a dozen, a crate-ful. Brady Corbet’s Oscars’ grabber has now set his eyes on being a part of a peer in cinema, the universe of Dune
.
He expressed that he would not hesitate to jump in if the Dune
screen crafter Denis Villeneuve ever proposed an idea akin.

Adrien Brody’s portrayal of László Tóth in The Brutalist
earned him an Oscar, showcasing his depth as a Hungarian-Jewish architect navigating post-war America. His performance, heart-wrenching enough to bring tears to one’s eyes, it has been made entirely worthy of its accolades due to its nuanced exploration of trauma and resilience. While still being an untapped territory, the Dune
universe could make use of Brody’s ability to immerse in complex roles, which highlights his versatility, making him a compelling candidate for diverse projects, including epic sci-fi like Dune.
While Brody has openly expressed his dreams and desires as is, the Internet has something to add onto this as well.

More than half the virtual globe with phones in their hands remain enamored with Adrien Brody’s pinched-brow performance of an immigrant, in awe of Brody’s “high caliber
” as an actor and relentless performance of an immigrant slowly losing his resilience as his self is broken down throughout his journey as an architect on foreign lands. However, where there is a thesis, there will always be a hypothesis. And there are some who are not entirely welcoming of Brody into the Dune
verse.
The spice must flow, let’s bet on it!
