The film arrives in theaters later this year.
Praise, Shaï-Hulud. Warner Bros. has shared the first trailer for Dune: Part Two, and if you were a fan of Denis Villeneuve’s adaption of the first half of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel, let’s just say Part Two looks like it will be even better. The teaser opens with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) talking about the future of Arrakis. “Where you see sand here, imagine water. If you dive in, you can’t reach the bottom,” Paul tells an incredulous Chani.
Following that exchange, the trailer offers us our first look at Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan. Her character didn’t make an appearance in Dune: Part One, but judging from the clip, Irulan will at least narrate some of the story, a change that could bring the movie closer to Herbert’s 1965 novel. Another critical character that wasn’t in Part One but makes an appearance in the trailer is Feyd-Rautha, played here by Austin Butler. Dune: Part Two will arrive in theaters on November 3rd. Unlike the first film, Warner Bros does not plan to simultaneously release Part Two to the soon-to-be-renamed HBO Max.
