Character comparisons: Dune 1984 vs Dune 2020

Duke Leto Atreides: Jürgen Prochnow vs Oscar Isaac
And here’s the Duke Leto Atreides, Paul’s father. Shrewd and commanding, Leto is a good father to Paul and partner to the Lady Jessica, but his position puts them all in a position where they’re in a lot of danger. Can he see his family through?
Duke Leto is played by Jürgen Prochnow in Dune 1984 and by Oscar Isaac, Poe Dameron himself, in Dune 2020. Have you noticed how super-charged the cast of the new movie is yet? These are a lot of big names.
As for the costumes, Duke Leto looks to be wearing a 19th century military uniform in the older movie, and an armored number straight out of Mass Effect in the new one. In both cases, the facial hair is on point.
