For those who do not have an in-depth knowledge of James Dyer-esque de Dunes With wisdom in hand, Lady Margot is married to Count Hasimir Fenring, ruler of her cottage, who is linked to the Corrino House and therefore to the Emperor. Margot is also a devoted part of the Bene Gesserit fraternity, helping to influence the bloodlines and, after Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) gains more power following his union with the Fremen on the planet Arrakis, he helps Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) to avoid a Harkonnen trap. .
And, spoiler alert, when the Bene Gesserit finally become less influential, Margot and her husband struggle to maintain their strong power base.

Denis Villeneuve returns to direct (and co-write with Jon Spaihts) the new film, which is scheduled for release on October 20.
