The first-look poster for ‘Dune: Part Two‘ has been revealed. It features Timothée Chalamet‘s Paul Atreides and Zendaya‘s Chani. The first official trailer will be dropped by Warner Bros. Pictures tomorrow (Wednesday). See the poster and teaser trailer below.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the script with Jon Spaihts. The film is the sequel to the 2021 film Dune and is the second part of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem will all reprise their roles from the first film. In addition to the returning cast, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, Christopher Walken, and Léa Seydoux will join the talented ensemble cast.
Dune: Part Two explores the continued journey of Paul Atreides, who is united with Chani and the Fremen. As he seeks revenge against those who destroyed his family, he is also tasked with preventing a terrible future that only he can predict.
At the end of Dune: Part One, Paul and Lady Jessica flee and join the Fremen, who believe Paul to be their Messiah. Paul leads the Fremen to victory against their enemies, but he also sees visions of a dark future. The film ends with Paul and Jessica facing the unknown challenges of the future. A post-credits scene introduces the Emperor and sets up the events of the sequel.
According to reports, the ‘Dune: Part Two’ trailer will reportedly be released online within the next 2 weeks. The film’s first trailer was shown at CinemaCon 2023 and it shows Timotheé Chalamet’s Paul Atreides riding a sandworm; it is filmed in IMAX, compared to 40% for the first movie.
Villeneuve told Vanity Fair, “Paul will have to ride one of these beasts in Dune: Part Two. “It’s a matter of life and death because, if you fuck it up, you’re going to kill yourself.” Villeneuve added, “It’s a rite of passage. It’s the way you become an adult in the Fremen world. That is a very important part of their culture and they respect the worms as half-gods, so they have a religious relationship with the worm.”
Dune: Part Two will hit theaters on November 3, 2023.
