On Sunday, a number of images for the upcoming science fiction film Dune: Part Two went live on Instagram.

Several members of the ensemble cast of the first feature, including Timothee Chalamet, who played Paul Atreides in the film, were visible in the shots dressed in costume.

Additionally, the posters featured a number of newly added cast members portraying their respective characters from the sequel, which has been postponed multiple times.

As Chani, The Baron, Stilgar, Gurney Halleck, Lady Jessica, Beast Rabban, and Josh Brolin, respectively, Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and Dave Bautista were portrayed.

 

 

Austin Butler, Lea Seydoux, Florence Pugh, and Christopher Walken, who play Feyd-Rautha, Lady Margot, Princess Irulan, and Emperor Shaddam IV, respectively, are among the newcomers to the film.

Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel of the same name served as the inspiration for both Part One and Part Two of Dune.

The main character of the story is Atreides, who rises to prominence as the head of the Arrakian tribes’ resistance movement against the oppressive House Harkonnen.

Director Alejandro Jodorowsky spearheaded one of the earliest attempts to turn the novel into a motion picture. Despite the project’s eventual cancellation, Jodorowsky’s 2013 film Dune features footage from the project.

After that, David Lynch directed a version of Dune that was met with harsh criticism when it was first released in 1984.

In 2016, Denis Villeneuve joined involved with the project’s latest iterations, and Dune: Part One was eventually released in 2021.

Critics gave the film favorable reviews, and as of right now, Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 83% rating.

In addition, Dune: Part One took home six of the ten Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound.

Though it began production just days after Dune: Part One, the feature film’s sequel was not officially approved until after the first movie’s premiere.

Budapest and Abu Dhabi were among the places where the feature was filmed between July and December of last year.

The initial release date for Dune: Part Two was supposed to be October 20, but there have been multiple changes to that date.

The public release date of the next science fiction film is currently scheduled for March 1, 2024.

Additionally, Villeneuve has stated that he would like to helm the third film in the series, Dune Messiah, which is based on Herbert’s 1969 novel.
