After winning 6 Oscars and garnering praise from critics and audiences, ‘Dune’ became one of last year’s film phenomena by adapting Frank Herbert’s novel after David Lynch’s previous attempt and his particular ‘Dune’. Since then, fans have been eager for new news, signings, and details that anticipate what we might see in the sequel. Also, ‘Dune: Part 2’ has announced the start of filming and, in addition, has unveiled the official synopsiswho will follow in the footsteps of Paul Atreides by Timothée Chalamet and his mimicry with the Fremen to get his revenge.
They did this through their social networks, where they posted an image that shows us a clapperboard with the names of Denis Villeneuve, the director, and Greig Fraser, director of photography which he repeats in the sequel. Also, we see big “Part 2” and a small subtitle, “Long live the fighters!”which could advance the importance of the Fremen and their warrior spirit in “Dune 2”.

Along with this announcement, we also receive the official synopsis of the sequel, to whet your appetite. “”Dune: Part 2” will explore the mythical journey of Paul Atreides as he joins Chani and the Fremen in a war against the conspirators who killed his family. Faced with a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, Paul will work to prevent a terrible future that only he can foresee. “.
With an exit (exclusively in theaters) set for November 17, 2023, “Dune: Part 2” will be written again by Jon Spaiths and Villeneuve himself. They are more than insured Returns of Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård and Dave Bautista (in addition to Chalamet himself), while those of Oscar Isaac and Jason Momoa will depend on the director’s fidelity to the book. While this cast already looked stellar enough, a lot of names have been added over the past few months and we already have the first leaked photo of a few.
First look at Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan
Last March we received confirmation of this Florence Pugh will play one of the key characters in the universe of novels: Princess Irulan. We finally got a (blurry) look at her look, which seems to stay true to the book: blonde and in a sleek white dress. Without knowing if this will be her last appearance, Irulan’s filtered image confirms that ‘Dune 2’ is already going from strength to strength.

Irulan, who will get in the middle of the relationship between Paul and Chani, is the eldest daughter of Emperor Padisha Corrino IV, played by Christopher Walken. To destroy the Atreides, the emperor of the known universe will ally with the Harkonnen, whose designated heir, Feyd-Rautha will be played by Austin Butler, currently at the top for his brilliant performance in “Elvis”. Also confirmed the signing of Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot, a Bene Gesserit who will try to help Paul on his journey.
