I hear good things about it but sadly I’ve become suspicious of any adaptations made in the time we live in. I have the next two books and may just stick to that. Zendaya as well is like the poster child for race swapping.

Cue the latest shill article about how Dune was always a narrative about the black experience
Dagestanis are very varied ethnically but what "look russo-turkish"? They're usual typical Caucasians, similar to Chechens (and sometimes are Chechens, and Shamil's Dagestan included the highland Chechnya).
(Usual > usually)
It is set so far in the future that none of the races would even be recognizable today. As long as there isn't wokeness, I'm cool with a diverse cast.
In case you haven't noticed race separation happened organically. There is no reason to believe it would converge. Rather further differentiation is likely.
