Paul Atreides must do what must be done in the latest trailer for this year’s sci-fi epic sequel, Dune: Part Two. Released courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures, Dune: Part Two will once again feature an all-star ensemble cast led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya as it continues to tell the tale of Paul and his messianic destiny on the desert planet Arrakis. Check out the newly released trailer for Dune: Part Two below.
The latest look at Dune: Part Two is a pretty lengthy one, with the trailer clocking in at just over three minutes. However, considering that the sequel is likely to be a long, sweeping epic much like its predecessor, this is still unlikely to show off too much of what’s to come when the saga continues the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Academy Award-winning Dune.
Award-winning filmmaker Denis Villeneuve returns for Dune: Part Two, the next chapter of Frank Herbert’s celebrated novel Dune. Dune: Part Two will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
Dune: Part Two Boasts an All-Star International Ensemble Cast
Dune: Part Two sees several principal cast members from the first outing return including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (Wonka, Call Me by Your Name), Zendaya (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Malcolm & Marie, Euphoria), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (Avengers: End Game, Milk), Dave Bautista (the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Thor: Love and Thunder), Stellan Skarsgård (the Mamma Mia! movies, Avengers: Age of Ultron), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences, Lady Bird), with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (45 Years, Assassin’s Creed), and Oscar winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Being the Ricardos).
The follow-up will add even more talent to the already overflowing pool, including Oscar nominee Florence Pugh (Black Widow, Little Women) as Princess Irulan; Oscar winner Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter, Hairspray) as Shaddam IV, the Emperor and head of House Corrino; Léa Seydoux (the James Bond franchise and Crimes of the Future) as Bene Gesserit Lady Margot, and Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Elvis, Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood) who will join the saga as the fan-favorite villain and Paul Atreides’ rival, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.
If that were not already enough, Souheila Yacoub (Rise) will star as Shishakli, a Fremen warrior, with Tim Blake Nelson (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Captain America: Brave New World) cast in an undisclosed role.
Villeneuve directs Dune: Part Two from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jon Spaihts. The sequel also sees Villeneuve once again collaborating with several of his Dune creatives, including Oscar-winning director of photography Greig Fraser; Oscar-winning production designer Patrice Vermette; Oscar-winning editor Joe Walker; Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Paul Lambert; Oscar-nominated costume designer Jacqueline West. Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer is again on hand to create the score.
Dune: Part Two is scheduled to be released on November 3, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
