The most recent trailer for Dune: Part Two is giving fans the chills and the feels as the famed science fiction movie exhibits another stunning glimpse of the desert planet. Timothée Chalamet will return along with Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, and Austin Butler among others.
Fans have been expressing their excitement for the 2024 release of the film following the success of its predecessor. Grossing over $402 million against a $165 million budget, Dune: Part One was a blockbuster hit.
Dune Director Shares What Fans Can Expect In Part Two
During his interview with Empire magazine, director Denis Villeneuve shared that Dune: Part Two will be a war film after the first movie’s world-building. It will also focus on Zendaya’s Chani and Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides. He explained:
“At the very core is a love story between Paul and Chani. How Paul will gain her trust, how she will open her heart to him, and how they will find a way to free Chani’s world from the Harkonnen grip. It’s a much more emotional movie.”
Villeneuve noted that the first two movies will be about the lead character’s journey to discovery, so he tried to take the pressure off of Chalamet into becoming a hero. He further added:
“I remember when I was doing Part One, I kept saying to Timothée: ‘No, you’re just Paul.’ Because he was reaching for Muad’Dib [Paul’s name within the Fremen community]. He was looking forward to becoming that hero and I was pushing the brakes. He has the power to change things, but he knows that if he does so, it will create an astronomical amount of violence, and he will become a kind of dictator. He’s trying to find a way to avoid that ominous future – that’s the burden upon his shoulders.”
In another conversation with Empire, Villeneuve admitted he already had plans on helming a third installment:
“If I succeed in making a trilogy, that would be the dream. Dune Messiah was written in reaction to the fact that people perceived Paul Atreides as a hero, which is not what he wanted to do. My adaptation [of Dune] is closer to his idea that it’s actually a warning.”
In fact, the director confirmed that Dune: Part Three is already in the works. It’s too early to say, but fans will surely be looking forward to the epic finale of the Dune franchise.
