Today, the much-awaited trailer for ‘Dune: Part Two,’ directed by Denis Villeneuve, has been released, featuring the return of Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya as Paul Atreides and Chani, respectively, and first appearances by Austin Butler and Florence Pugh (USA Today). The sequel is set to follow the messianic rise of Chalamet’s character, Paul Atreides, as he reunites with Chani and leads fellow Fremen to quench their thirst for power (The Hindu).
In this new installment, Austin Butler is set to play the new villain, engaging into a square-off with Chalamet’s character (Screen Rant). Notably, Austin Butler’s performance in ‘Dune: Part Two’ has been described as not sounding like Elvis, but rather having a different voice and a terrifying demeanor (Variety).
‘Dune: Part Two’ has seen several release date changes (Dune News Net), with the most recent delay announced in June 2022 (Collider). However, the excitement for the sequel remains high, as the Duniverse continues to grow (Yahoo). In addition to the main film series, a prequel series, ‘Dune: The Sisterhood,’ has been under production, with recent reports indicating creative changes, including the loss of a director and a star in March 2023 (IGN India).
