Leonardo DiCaprio advice Timothy Chalemet was "No hard drugs and no superhero movies."
Dune isn't a super hero film. It's a space opera based on a series of Novels.
Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.
Bro the dude has psychic powers, he's pretty close
Also when they assembled into a squad and said, "It's Dunin' time!"

"Woah, Cowabunga!"
Dune as a 1980's action cartoon
And then he did Dune.
How do you confuse Dune with a superhero movie.
Do you consider the Lord of the rings or Star Wars superhero movies?
No confusion at all. Frank Herbert wrote Paul as a superhero white savior. It's the point of the entire story. I think people are thinking that I am criticizing the movie or his acting. But I'm only commenting on the fact that he was told not to do a superhero movie and then played a superhero in a story.
I think the threshold may be: adapted from comic book equals hero movie; adapted from novel equals sci fi.
That's just sci-fi, not super hero like Marvel/DC.
