Sci-Fi sequel Dune 2 features 3 new characters in 12 (!) epic images

This year we finally return to the desert planet of Arrakis. Dune 2 hits theaters in November and tells the next chapter of the epic sci-fi saga, which was once created in book form by Frank Herbert. As we patiently await the trailer, here are the first images from the sequel.

Sci-Fi Sequel: The first Dune 2 images show the characters of Florence Pugh, Austin Butler and Léa Seydoux

Vanity Fair brings us the first glimpse into the stirring events of Dune 2. The continuation of the Dune epic comes to life in a total of twelve images. Included is a picture of Florence Pugh hitting Arrakis for the first time. She takes on the role of Princess Irulandaughter of Emperor Shaddam IV.

Another important addition is Austin Butler. Last year he celebrated his big break with Elvis. Now he lets off steam as a warrior in the Dune universe. In Part 2 he takes on the role of Feydh-Rautha, a most unfriendly Harkonnen prince. Butler has exchanged the full Elvis hair for a bald head.

The third new character we’re seeing for the first time in the Dune 2 images is Lady Margot. Here, too, a well-known name awaits in the cast: none other than Léa Seydoux brings the mysterious woman to life, who has a say in the merciless intrigues surrounding Arrakis.

Dune 2 not only introduces us to new characters. A few familiar faces are also returning, most notably Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides and Zendaya as Chani.

Director Denis Villeneuve has already promised before the start of filming of part 2 that Zendaya’s role significantly larger fails than at the start.

Meanwhile, Chalamet must prove that his Paul Atreides really the chosen one is after he was taken in by the Fremen with his mother.

Speaking of mother: Of course, Rebecca Ferguson is allowed to be Lady Jessica not missing in Dune 2. Dune 2 doesn’t come without one of the most important characters from the Atreides camp.

Who else is there? Javier Bardem brings the Fremen leader stilgar return. Stellan Skarsgård is more terrible than that Baron Harkonnen at the beginning. Dave Bautista can turn out to be Glossu Rabban once again show his serious side. And a picture of Josh Brolin reveals that the missing Gurney Halleck is still alive.

Finally, there’s a pretty cool picture of Villeneuve himself, who has become one of the best sci-fi directors has risen in the blockbuster metier.

Dune 2 launches on November 2, 2023 in German cinemas. Now the wait for the trailer begins. But it shouldn’t be too long before we get the first moving impressions from the film.
