Model Anastasia Zaitseva managed to transform into Princess Irulan Corrino from the movie "Dune: Part Two", who is destined to become the official wife of Emperor Paul Atreides.
The movie "Dune: Part Three", unfortunately, will be released only on December 18, 2026. To help fans of Frank Herbert's work and admirers of director Denis Villeneuve endure until this long-awaited date, photographer Sofia Chatskaya and cosplayer Anastasia Zaitseva have published fresh pictures online.
In the photos, the model appears as Princess Irulan Corrino from the movie "Dune: Part Two", which was released back in 2024.
Irulan is the eldest daughter of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, a pupil of the Bene Gesserit order, a writer, and the official wife of Emperor Paul Atreides. She possesses a sharp mind, outstanding observation skills, and a deep knowledge of the political intrigues of the empire.
Despite her high status as Paul's wife, Irulan remained only a political tool in the hands of fate. Her marriage was a mere formality, intended solely to legitimize Paul's power, and she suffered for many years from a complete lack of true love, as well as the inability to continue her own dynasty.
In the books, Irulan is a woman who was born for power but found herself in the shadow of another person, eventually managing to find her significance through the preservation of knowledge and devotion to her new family.
