Dune fans rejoice — because the sequel is here.
Dune hit theaters in October 2021, earning more than $400 million worldwide. The immediate success of the Oscar-nominated film, which starred Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, led to the confirmation of the sequel shortly after.
Denis Villeneuve will return to direct the second film. According to Villeneuve, Dune, which is based on Frank Herbert’s lengthy science fiction novel of the same name, was always intended to be split into two movies.
Chalamet stars as the film’s hero, Paul Atreides, while Zendaya plays Chani, his future love interest. Zendaya’s role in the first part of the franchise was minimal and left viewers wanting more.
“For Zendaya, I will say Part One was a promise. I know that we saw a glimpse of her in Part One, but in Part Two, she’ll have a prominent part,” Villeneuve told Variety in March 2022.
