Dune 2 is coming out, and everything points to it being just as good as the first. Dune, which was turned into a movie by Denis Villeneuve, broke the curse and showed that it was possible to turn a complicated, long book series into a great movie.
Dune not only did well at the box office, but it also won six Oscars for things like its special effects, music, and cinematography. With that, it got the green light for a sequel, where, according to reports, we’ll learn a lot more about Chani, played by Zendaya, who becomes a major ally of Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet.
The story of Dune is told over several books, so the sequel has a lot to work with. It looks like Paul will become a leader for the Fremen and the survivors of his house, who will become the main obstacle for the emperor and the Harkonnens (the enemy family) to get more power and control over the universe.
Shortly after the first movie Dune came out, it was reported that there would be a second one, and now we know who the new actors are, as well as other important details.
Dune 2 trailer:
In the first video for the sequel, Florence Pugh is seen as Princess Irulan, who has a feeling that the Atreides house will not be destroyed. While this is going on, Paul impresses the Fremen by riding one of the huge sandworms. He also struggles with his desire for revenge and his role as head of his people.
Also, Léa Seydoux plays Lady Margot, who has to talk to Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen on behalf of the Bene Gesserit, who are getting ready to fight Paul Atreides.
What is Dune 2 about?
Denis Villeneuve stated that we’ll see more of Zendaya and her character. It’s likely that she’ll help Paul Atreides train to become the leader everyone wants him to be so that he can take on the Emperor and his enemies.

We’ll also see new political alliances form, like when Paul Atreides marries a princess from another important family in the universe.

The movie also shows Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, who becomes Baron of his house and is one of Paul Atreides’s main enemies. Paul Atreides must fight him as he tries to get his family’s spice business back.
The official images
Zendaya shared the first picture from the set, which shows that they are shooting in the desert. This suggests that at least some of the most important scenes will take us back to the world of Arrakis.
Timothée Chalamet shared the first photo of what looks like Paul Atraides back on Arrakis. In it, he’s wearing a black suit with a skeleton on it, which isn’t necessarily part of the movie’s wardrobe but is similar to what he and Rebecca Ferguson wore when they had to run across the desert in the first movie.
The new characters of Dune 2
Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Rebecca Ferguson are all back as new characters in Dune 2, but this time there are also some new names.

Princess Irulan, who is the daughter of the Emperor and who is played by Florence Pugh, gets the eye of Paul Atreides. She is a kind of historian who tells part of Paul’s story in the books. She could be a key player in Atreides getting more fans and a place in the line of succession to the throne.
Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is also a new character. He plays Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the nephew of the Atreides’ main enemy. He wants to kill Paul to get back at the Atreides and stop his family from getting the throne.
Christopher Walken will play the emperor, and Léa Seydoux will play Lady Margot. It is said that we will also see Paul’s little sister, who is very powerful and has the skills of a Reverend Mother of the order of the Bene Gesserit.
