Dune, and 4 other Rebecca Ferguson performances to watch if you liked her in Silo
1) Dune
The epic science fiction movie Dune (also known as Dune: Part One on screen) was directed and co-produced by Denis Villeneuve in 2021. Villeneuve, Jon Spaihts, and Eric Roth wrote the screenplay.
The film is the first half of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert. It is set in a far-off future and revolves around Paul Atreides and his aristocratic family, House Atreides, who become embroiled in a struggle for the hostile and perilous desert planet of Arrakis.
Dune: Part Two is a 2024 film that serves as the sequel to Dune (2021).
As Lady Jessica in Dune and Dune: Part Two, Rebecca Ferguson delivers a remarkable performance that showcases her remarkable range as an actor. She provides a potent blend of knowledge to the role of Paul Atreides' mother and the concubine of Duke Leto Atreides.
Her performance of Lady Jessica, a member of the clandestine Bene Gesserit order, captures the character's intense loyalty and internal turmoil. Ferguson skillfully juggled the conflicting demands of being a fierce fighter who could defeat anyone and being a protective mother.

2) The Greatest Showman
Rebecca Ferguson plays the powerful Jenny Lind, a well-known opera singer from Sweden, in the 2017 musical The Greatest Showman. It tells the story of how Hugh Jackman founded the Barnum & Bailey Circus and his character, P.T. Barnum.
Barnum convinces Lind, also known as the "Swedish Nightingale," to perform. Even though Barnum is married and has kids, their connection gets strained when she falls in love with him after he takes over as her manager.
Ferguson's Jenny Lind is just right, imbuing the character with elegance and poise as a woman beset by her vulnerabilities but swept up in Barnum's dream.
What Rebecca Ferguson brings to Jenny Lind's character is a show-stopping song like Never Enough. With her innate radiance on screen and natural ease of performing—though the singing voice of Loren Allred was involved—she perfectly conveyed a deep feeling as the performer torn between a life of unfulfilled wishes and ambition.
