Stephen McKinley Henderson Accepts Omission from Dune: Part Two

Despite being cut, Henderson remains positive about his experience and contribution to the Dune sequel.

Stephen McKinley Henderson, who played Thufir Hawat in the first Dune film, was cut from Dune: Part Two but expresses no regrets about the decision.
Director Denis Villeneuve describes cutting scenes as a painful but necessary part of the filmmaking process, emphasizing the final movie's integrity over individual contributions.
Henderson's understanding of the filmmaking process and his positive experiences on set, including time spent with co-stars, contribute to his acceptance of the omission.
Despite the cut, the actor looks forward to future projects, including his role in the upcoming war film Civil War.
Dune: Part Two continues the epic saga, focusing on Paul Atreides' journey and the complex dynamics of the Dune universe, without an extended director's cut.
