Strap into your stillsuits and preserve your water, as a result of we’re going again to Arrakis!
The trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Half Two teases our return to the attractive — but harmful — desert planet. We decide up proper the place the primary Dune left off, with Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mom Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) assimilating into the Fremen tribe led by Stilgar (Javier Bardem). There, Paul falls in love with Chani (Zendaya), and vows to assist free Arrakis from its oppressors and remodel it right into a watery paradise.
It will not be simple: Paul will face a lot opposition, particularly from new characters launched within the trailer. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) and his nephew Rabban (Dave Bautista) have already established themselves as brutal enemies. Nevertheless, a brand new menace arises: the Baron’s youthful nephew Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler). He is a lethal swordsman hell-bent on taking out Paul. Additionally, he is bald.
Elsewhere within the trailer, we get our first glimpse of Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh), the daughter of the omnipotent Padishah Emperor (Christopher Walken) who suspects that Paul should be alive. In Frank Herbert’s Dune, many chapters open with excerpts from Irulan’s writings, so anticipate her to be an authority on all issues Paul Atreides.
However the coolest a part of the trailer, arms down, comes when Paul takes on a Fremen ceremony of passage: his first experience on a sandworm. Do I want Dune: Half Two had stored this sequence extra of a shock? Most positively. Am I nonetheless excited to see Paul latching onto the sandworm? You betcha. The thumper! The maker hooks! The sand flying in all places! All hail the majesty of Shai-Hulud.
