With Dune: Part 2 set to hit theaters on March 1, fans are eagerly anticipating a final trailer, and those in attendance during last night's screening of the first film got to see it along with a full scene of Paul Atreides riding a Sandworm.

We're sure the trailer will be released online soon, but for now, we have three new posters for Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi sequel.

The first features Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) walking through the deserts of Arrakis, and IGN has also debuted a poster highlighting the entire cast, including buzzy new recruits Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha and Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan. Finally, we have a new IMAX poster featuring the Fremen army amassing in front of a gigantic Sandworm.

Check them out at the links below.

Villeneuve confirmed plans to helm a third movie based on Dune: Messiah late last year.

"[It] is being written right now. The screenplay is almost finished, but it is not finished. It will take a little time. There’s a dream of making a third movie... it would make absolute sense to me.”

The saga continues as award-winning filmmaker Denis Villeneuve embarks on Dune: Part Two, the next chapter of Frank Herbert’s celebrated novel Dune, with an expanded all-star international ensemble cast. The film, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Academy Award-winning Dune. 

The big-screen epic continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed bestseller Dune with returning and new stars, including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (Wonka, Call Me by Your Name), Zendaya (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Malcolm & Marie, Euphoria), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame, Milk), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Elvis, Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood), Oscar nominee Florence Pugh (Black Widow, Little Women), Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: Love and Thunder), Oscar winner Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter,), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences), Léa Seydoux (James Bond, Crimes of the Future), with Stellan Skarsgård (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (45 Years, Assassin’s Creed), and Oscar winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Being the Ricardos).

Dune: Part Two will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

In preparation for this I’m going through a Dune Marathon.

- Already watched OG Dune movie and it’s still as bad as I remembered it
- Next up is the SciFi channel Children of Dune series. Never seen it before and now that I’ve ready the books I’d like to see the adaptation
- Rewatch part 1

Then this glorious film in a little over a month.

I will never understand why everyone went bananas over the first one.

@FinnishDude - I feel the same way about Fury Road.
FinnishDude
FinnishDude - 1/25/2024, 12:13 PM
@soberchimera - At least Fury Road was visually stunning.
At least it told a story and wasn't just three hours of sequel set-up.
At least I can describe Fury Road's main character's personality.
At least Fury Road had some memorable spectacle.

I seriously struggle to name anything about Dune that stood out for me.

@FinnishDude - I think it's superiority to the David Lynch film is why a lot of Dune fans liked it, plus Vileneuve is one of those directors whose name alone gets people to watch his movies. And it wasn't 3 hours of sequel set-up, it was adapting the first half of the book.

FireandBlood - 1/25/2024, 12:38 PM
@FinnishDude - It was Part 1 of a larger story adapting a book. That’s not sequel set up. What Marvel and DC do is sequel set up.

@FireandBlood
OK, so it wasn't just three hours of sequel set-up, it was three hours of plain set-up.

FireandBlood - 1/25/2024, 2:43 PM
@FinnishDude - You’re misunderstanding. It wasn’t set up, it was the first half of a two-part story. Part II isn’t a sequel, it’s the other half of a larger story split into two, because one movie isn’t big enough to faithfully adapt the book.

@FireandBlood - That's not how good story-telling works. Even if you tell a story in multiple parts, each part has to still work on its own. Each movie in The Lord of the Rings-trilogy, for an example, stands as a movie on its own right, despite the larger story going through all of them. Even modern tv-shows with serialized story-telling, generally try to make each episode a worthwhile experience, when watched by itself. Besides, if the first part isn't engaging enough on its own, I'm not going to be interested enough to watch the second part.

@FinnishDude - The first part does work on its own, hence why it was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, and won 6 of them. It’s funny you mention LotR as well, because Fellowship isn’t to dissimilar to Dune Part I in the way it’s structured. Obviously the difference is here, you like LotR, and you don’t like Dune. And that’s okay, but as you pointed out, everyone else was bananas over it.
FinnishDude
FinnishDude - 1/26/2024, 1:54 AM
@FireandBlood - The Oscars are not some end-all-be-all, especially when the likes of Green Book have won the best picture and, even then, I'm pretty sure that Dune only won technical awards.

The difference between Fellowship and Dune part 1 is that while Fellowship leaves the main conflict to be resolved by the third part, it still has its own story with the beginning, the middle and the end. It has coherent dramaturgy.

Dune is three hours of the first act of a story and then it stops dead on its track. And all that your defense of "it's a story intentionally cut in two" tells me is that Dennis did poor job adapting the book to be told this way.

FireandBlood - 1/26/2024, 2:44 AM
@FinnishDude - Sure, man. You understand the movie in ways the rest of us don’t. We all must be crazy for doing bananas over it, because even though you’re giving LotR a pass for the same thing, it was a “poor” adaption. 🙄

You just don’t like Dune, man. But you’re doing a poor job explaining why except saying “I don’t like it”. Let’s not pretend it’s anything more than that.
FinnishDude
FinnishDude - 1/26/2024, 7:09 AM
@FireandBlood - Well, I have actually studied in a school script writing, story structure, dramaturgy and the like. Not saying that makes my personal opinions superior or anything, but I'm in fact more learned on the matter than some comment section rando whose only counterarguments so far have been "People liked it" and "the director intentionally made it that way".

I even explained why I "gave a pass" to LotR, because it was not same thing, and all you can do in return are emojis.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 1/26/2024, 7:20 AM
@FinnishDude - Except that’s exactly what you’re saying, isn’t it? All the while making baseless assumptions about a “rando” online and disregarding the Academy who, for all intents and purposes, have far more experience judging a movie than, say, some ‘rando’ online who may or may not of studied script writing in a school.

FireandBlood - 1/26/2024, 7:20 AM
@FinnishDude - What is it you’re looking for here? Validation from other contrarians that also couldn’t get into/didn’t get Dune? Because that’s what it’s coming across like.

Most anticipated film since... well Dune Part 1 LOL

First film was incredible and if Villeneuve keeps the same quality for Part 2, this will be one of the best sequels and overall duologies ever made.

The first movie did a great job of introducing the excellent characters & planet, but sometimes the movie got soooo boring.

I hope they correct that and give us a lot more action & a lot less over-talking.

I'll be there day one with my booze & cookies to see what happens.

Nutter Butter peanutbutter cookies of course!
