From what I remember Emperor supposed to look much younger for his age, around 35-40, which makes me wonder if they gonna make him younger for this role.

Also, it helps that his Fat Slim Boy music video had a Dune reference, which makes this casting genius in some respect.
Yeah......Could have been a "Spoof"...
Christoper Walken as Batman!!!!!
You could call it.....The Dark Knight "does" Return!!!!
Be like a "Big Daddy" (Nick Cage)!!!....
Would have been so, so cool a role. For a younger Walken....
IMHO of course ;^)

Christoper Walken!!!....My Man!!!
That's worth the price of admission ;^)
I don't really want to question Denis here, and I love Christopher Walken as an actor and a personality, but he seems maybe a bit too weird to play Emperor Shaddam IV. I'll reserve final judgement, but as a fan of the books and the movies, I think Ralph Fiennes or Kenneth Branagh would be a better fit for what has so far been a decidedly less weird Dune than what David Lynch made 38 years ago.
