After appearing in ‘Rogue One’—becoming the first Black woman to have a human speaking role in a Star Wars film—Duncan-Brewster will make history once again in ‘Dune,’ by portraying a character originally written as a white man.
of Frank Herbert’s foundational novel, is not only an action-filled epic with giant worms, but a complex game of strategy played on a stratospheric level by feuding royals. At the elusive center of the story’s scheming and dueling is Sharon Duncan-Brewster’s Dr. Liet Kynes.
How do you feel when you achieve something like that? Are you grateful for being at the forefront of this milestone or frustrated that it took this long to happen? Normally, it says "identifies as male/female," and I don't believe there was anything in the [character] breakdown that stated that Dr. Kynes was male. The first time I worked it out, I was told, "You're going up for this part." I typed into the computer, “Dr. Liet Kynes”, and this photograph of a white male appeared on my screen. But that's not a problem for me.
Audre Lorde said: “Some problems we share as women, some we do not.” The reason why I'm bringing that up is because as a Black woman, we're normally at the bottom of the chain. We're the last person to be even considered. We're normally invisible in some worlds. And when we do make our mark or when we do step up, it's not appreciated. It's not noted. And a lot of the time, it's not celebrated.
