Dune 2 is just a few months away from its theatrical debut and promotion is happening with full force. During a recent appearance at CCXP, lead actor Timothée Chalamet explained that he and his co-star managed to bring life to the follow-up. “Me and Z hit it off right away on the first one. She said she was only there for about a week, this time, we get the full Chani effect in the movie,” the actor shared. “We get the beautiful story between Paul and Chani, we get more sandworms. It’s an epic adventure, I think you guys are all gonna love it.”
Dune: Part 2 Paul and Chani’s Story
Director Villeneuve previously talked about how Part 2 will serve as a payoff to several elements of the original experience. “Part One was like the promise of something, but Part Two delivers on that,” Villeneuve shared with Empire Magazine earlier this year. “I’m exhausted, but a happy director.”
He continued, “The first movie was more contemplative — a young man discovering a world. Here, it’s a war movie … 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.”
The description of Dune: Part 2 reads: “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 endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”
The upcoming sequel stars Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Zendaya as Chani, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Dave Bautista as “Beast” Rabban, and Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Harkonnen. The new entries include Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Christopher Walker as Emperor Shaddam IV, and Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot.
Dune: Part Two will be out in theaters on March 1, 2024.
