In the wild world ofDune, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is a seriously scary dude. One thing that freaks people out is his knack for flying. Yeah, you heard it right. It’s got folks hooked and freaked out at the same time. In Frank Herbert’s sci-fi saga, especially inDune 2, everyone’s buzzing about how this Harkonnen takes to the skies.
Now, let’s get down to it: What’s this villain’s freaky ability, and how the heck does he pull off flying? Is he into Superman’s secrets or what? Digging into this weird skill is like peeling back the layers of a mystery.

InDune 2, What’s Baron Harkonnen’s Flying Secret?
Dune 2fans have been scratching their heads over one big question: How does Baron Harkonnen manage to float around like he owns the place? It’s a real head-scratcher, leaving us all wondering what’s really going on with his gravity-defying antics.
Played byStellan Skarsgård, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is the big bad ofDune, ruling House Harkonnen and making life miserable on the planet Arrakis. Now, the movie doesn’t spell out his exact weight, but in Frank Herbert’s first book (Dune World), there’s a hint that he’s carrying around a serious load, at least a couple hundred kilos, if not more.
So, why is the Baron floating around like some kind of sinister balloon? Well, in the expandedDuneUniverse, it’s chalked up to a disease, but the main canon suggests it’s more about a lifetime of overindulgence.

This guy has been living large, literally, for so long that he’s practically outgrown his own body. He’s so massive that he can’t even walk anymore without some serious tech support.
But here’s the twist: In the books, the Baron doesn’t float; he uses something called suspensors to give him a lift. It’s a bit different in the movies, though, where he’s seen hovering like a malevolent cloud.
Regardless of how it’s portrayed, though, the source of his floating power is the same as that of those sneaky suspensors. With these gadgets, the Baron can wreak havoc wherever he pleases, indulging his darkest whims without a care in the world.
As for becoming the Baron on screen, it’s no walk in the park. Skarsgård spilled the beans, revealing that transforming into Baron Harkonnen is no easy feat; it’s a downright painful process. But hey, when you’re playing one of the most iconic villains in sci-fi history, a little pain is just par for the course.

In an interview withCollider, Skarsgård gets real about the tough process of transforming into the sickly, blubbery Baron. The actor said,
“You have to fool yourself. You know it’s gonna be painful, but you go there, and you just take it minute by minute, and you concentrate on the people that you’re working with or that are working on you, and watch them and their skills. ButI don’t wanna do it again.”
From hours of makeup to skilled artists, it’s no walk in the park. But hey, a little pain makes for a killer performance, right?
As for the plot, Part Two picks up with Paul and Lady Jessica dodging the Harkonnens’ attempts on their lives. With Duke Leto out of the picture, Paul teams up with Chani and the Fremen to gear up for an epic showdown.
