Dune 2<\/em> is going to be even bigger and more epic than the first film. After the first trailer<\/a> was released on May 3, the second film is already surpassing expectations. Denis Villeneuve<\/strong> has returned to direct Dune: Part Two<\/em>, which will undoubtedly be one of the biggest movies of 2024. Unfortunately, Dune: Part Two<\/em> has become the latest film to be delayed as the Hollywood strikes continue.<\/p>\n Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/strong><\/a>, Zendaya<\/strong><\/a>, and Denis debuted the first trailer at CinemaCon, and the video was released wide on May 3. The footage revealed Florence Pugh’s<\/strong><\/a> Princess Irulan talking about the secrets of Arrakis and Austin Butler<\/strong> completely bald<\/a> as Feyd-Rautha. Nearly two months after the first trailer dropped, a second one was released on June 29. The new footage showed Timoth\u00e9e and Zendaya gearing up for battle and revealed\u00a0Christopher Walken <\/strong>as Emperor Shaddam IV.\u00a0HollywoodLife<\/strong> has rounded up all the details we know so far, including the new release date, the star-studded cast, and more.<\/p>\n Dune: Part Two <\/em>will now be released on March 15, 2024<\/strong>. Warner Bros. announced in August 2023 that the film was being delayed until the new year. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes<\/a> have disrupted the 2023 movie release calendar as writers and actors continue to seek new and fair contracts from the studios. The actors’ strike prevents cast members from promoting films like Dune: Part Two<\/em>.<\/p>\n The sequel was originally supposed to be released on October 20, 2023, but it was eventually pushed to November 17. Before the strikes, Dune: Part Two’s<\/em> release date was actually moved up to November 3.<\/p>\n The movie is a direct continuation of the 2021 film, which was released on October 21, 2021. Dune<\/em> had a simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dune: Part Two<\/em> will be released exclusively in theaters.<\/p>\n Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/strong> will return as Paul Atreides in Dune: Part Two<\/em>. He’ll be joined by other returning cast members, including Zendaya<\/strong> as Chani, Rebecca Ferguson<\/strong> as Lady Jessica Atreides, Javier Bardem<\/strong> as Stilgar, Josh Brolin<\/strong> as Gurney Halleck, Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd<\/strong> as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Dave Bautista<\/strong> as Glossu Rabban Harkonnen, Charlotte Rampling<\/strong> as Reverend Mother Mohaim, and Stephen McKinley Henderson<\/strong> as Thurfir Hawat.<\/p>\n Dune 2<\/em> has assembled an incredible ensemble cast. The sequel will feature several new additions: Florence Pugh<\/strong>\u00a0as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler<\/strong><\/a> as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, L\u00e9a Seydoux<\/strong> as Lady Margot, Christopher Walken<\/strong> as Emperor Shaddam IV, and Souheila Yacoub<\/strong> as Shishakli. The film also cast Tim Blake Nelson<\/strong> in a mystery role, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Christopher’s casting was revealed in early May. The Oscar-winner’s character is the “ruler of the known universe,” per The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>The emperor tries to fight the rebellion and is a villain to the population that he rules over.\u00a0 Fans got their first look at the character in the second trailer.<\/p>\n Princess Irulan is the daughter of the Emperor. Dune: Part Two’s <\/em>director told Vanity Fair<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that Princess Irulan’s “stake could not be higher because she\u2019s afraid that her father could lose the throne, could lose everything. When I met Florence, I was struck by her assurance, how grounded she is as a young woman, how direct, how unapologetic. She has something inherently royal about her. I will definitely believe that Florence could become, in the future, a prime minister.”<\/p>\n Fans have been curious about how Austin’s voice will sound<\/a> as Feyd given how his voice transformed to play Elvis Presley<\/strong><\/a> in the Elvis biopic. Dave revealed that Austin’s performance is “terrifying” in the film. “I don\u2019t know who this guy was, but it\u2019s not Austin Butler. It\u2019s not Elvis. His voice is different, his look is different. Everything about his demeanor is terrifying,” Dave told USA Today<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Denis Villeneuve <\/strong>also told Vanity Fair<\/em>, “Austin Butler brought to the screen\u00a0something that would be a cross between a psychotic, sociopath serial killer and\u00a0Mick Jagger.”<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Timoth\u00e9e](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dune-2-trailer-zendaya-and-timothy-warner-bros-embed.jpg?resize=620%2C413\")
