The most recent trailer for Dune 2 is breathtaking, giving viewers their first glimpse of Christopher Walken’s Emperor Shaddam IV and teasing what’s to come for Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides. Will the follow-up rank among 2023’s top films?
The eagerly awaited movie, Dune: Part Two, may make a lasting impression based on the images we’ve already seen in the first teaser and the all-star cast. Timothée Chalamet, the lead character in Dune: Part Two, revealed in a behind-the-scenes shot that filming will end in December 2022.
Dune: Part Two is based on the second half of the first book in Frank Herbert’s Dune trilogy. In late April 2023, early views of newcomers including Florence Pugh and Austin Butler were unveiled, and on May 3, Warner Bros. and Legendary released the sequel’s teaser.
A significant cliffhanger from the original movie will be resolved in the upcoming picture, and Dune 2 might not be our last trip to Arrakis, as suggested by Deadline. The third installment, which would be an adaptation of the second book in the series by Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah, indicates that the director may be making the films into a trilogy.
Here is all the information you need to know about Dune: Part Two…

When Can We Expect to See Dune Part Two?
Dune: Part Two’s new release date is November 3, 2023, following a few date adjustments. It was originally slated for October 20, 2023, but Warner Bros moved it back to November 17, 2023, before moving it forward to the current date. We can only hope that the release date won’t alter, but anything can happen.

Denis Villeneuve’s #DunePartTwo has been slightly delayed and will now open in theaters on Nov. 17, 2023 instead of Oct. 20, 2023. https://t.co/WwzSdPVM25

The sequel is most likely to receive an exclusive theatrical release in the US rather than a day-and-date streaming release, unlike the first film, which was made available on HBO’s Max streaming service on the same day that it opened in US theaters.

On July 18, 2022, the sequel’s filming in Budapest, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, and Italy got underway. As previously stated, assuming no additional reshoots, filming was completed in December 2022. We’ll all be coming back to Arrakis as scheduled in November 2023, barring any post-production hiccups. Crossing fingers.
What Will Dune Part Two Be About?
When the sequel was confirmed, we also received the first summary of the story:
“This follow-up film 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 endeavours to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”
The first movie finished when Paul and Lady Jessica were admitted into the Fremen and on their journey to Stilgar’s house, covering little over half of Herbert’s book. With House Atreides essentially destroyed, the sequel will pit them against the Empire. As he leads a revolution against the Empire, we may expect to see more of Paul’s ideas of his future come to life.
Villeneuve admitted that he briefly considered ending the film later to match the book’s time shift, but decided that his “first intuition” to stop the film after Paul encounters the Fremen was the best choice.
Because of Paul’s gift for prophecy, the first movie had thrilling glimpses of what will happen in the character’s future as he struggles with his ultimate destiny, which might be related to Chani and the Fremen of Arrakis.
Even if you have read the novel, Javier Bardem has hinted that the sequel won’t be a simple adaptation, so don’t take your assumptions as gospel just yet. Bautista has been hyping up the release of the sequel, telling Collider in January 2023 that the movie is:
“so amped up from the first film. There’s just so much going on, it’s so much more cutthroat and political and intense.”
Who’s Coming Back for Dune Part Two?
In the role of Princess Irulan Corrino, a Bene Gesserit who would date Paul, Oscar contender Florence Pugh (Midsommar) has joined the cast. The next actor, Austin Butler (Elvis), who is also eligible for an Oscar, portrays Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the evil and clever nephew of Baron Harkonnen.
As Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, the ruler of the universe at the time of the story and the father of Princess Irulan, Oscar winner Christopher Walken will also join the cast. Lady Margot will be portrayed by Crimes of the Future’s Léa Seydoux. Additionally, Tim Blake Nelson plays an unspecified part in Dune: Part Two.
