![]() When word first broke indicating Pugh might play the part, it was said the script was being massaged to make it worth her while. Although she appears in the novel in just one scene – in which she says nothing – her presence is felt throughout the book thanks to various historical tomes attributed to her. But should the film adapt Feyd’s fight on Geidi Prime, it will become obvious to viewers that he is an immediate physical threat to Paul.īut the character addition that will prove most pivotal in the future is Florence Pugh as Irulan. Despite the Baron’s continued villainy, the pair are more directly Paul’s adversaries – indeed, the Emperor was always the foe Paul knew was waiting in the wings. The two most important for Part Two are arguably Christopher Walken as the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and recent Elvis star Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha. The film is also an opportunity to introduce a handful of new characters. We also expect Charlotte Rampling to appear again as Bene Gesserit Mother Helen Gaius Mohaim in at least one Part Two scene.Īnd though we don’t expect to see Oscar Isaac or Jason Momoa this time around, it is always possible they could be glimpsed, as Paul’s powers allow him to see the past and the future. Additionally, Josh Brolin will likely be back as Gurney Hallack, although it remains to be seen just when in the film he’ll make his return. The character still has some part to play in the narrative and audiences may be surprised by what he can accomplish despite the defeat of House Atreides in the first film. And although it has not been confirmed, we expect Stephen McKinley Henderson to return as Mentat Master of Assassins Thufir Hawat. Stellan Skarsgård also returns as the Baron his role expands a great deal in the second half, as his overall scheme comes into view and the tension with his nephew takes hold – well, at least until he becomes aware of the problem on Arrakis. Their stories continue, as they unambiguously survived the events of the first film. In terms of returning cast, Chalamet, Rebecca Feguson, Zendaya, and Javier Bardem return as Paul, Jessica, Chani, and Stilgar. And although we could see Villeneuve resisting the urge to realize his own take on the planet, it is always possible a few scenes could be set there to introduce the Emperor and his family. Alejandro Jodorowsky planned to make Kaitain a literal planet of gold. David Lynch realized the planet as an opulent world of gold and marble. And though never glimpsed directly in the novel, the epigraphs beginning each chapter – attributed to Princess Irulan Corrino – may give Villeneuve the leeway to depict the Imperial throneworld of Kaitain. ![]() ![]() Since Geidi Prime made a few key appearances in the first film, we expect this scene will be adapted in some form. Although appearing in earlier scenes, Feyd-Rautha’s big introduction occurs when he takes part in a gladiatorial challenge that may or may not be part of the plot to eventually kill the Baron. But the book also spends a few scenes back on the Harkonnen world, Geidi Prime. Much of the action still takes place on the desert planet Arrakis, source of the Spice Melange. The setting of Dune: Part Two will remain consistent for the most part. But his arrival there may lead to a drastic change in the Imperium. And, as it happens, Feyd is important to the Bene Gesserit, who are still looking to manufacture the Kwisatz Haderach after the apparent loss of the Atreides bloodline.Įventually, though, everything leads back to Arrakis, where Emperor Shaddam IV sets his sights once Spice production grinds to a halt. This zeal is tempered, though, by the suspicion that Feyd is already conspiring to have the Baron killed. Paul himself is also worried about that Path, as he has seen it in his prescient dreams, even as he accepts certain parts of that future, like adopting the name “Maud’Dib.”Įlsewhere in the universe, Baron Vladamir Harkonnen continues to groom his nephew, Feyd-Rautha, to eventually take his place and - if he’s played all his pieces correctly - sit the Lion Throne of the Padishah Emperors. At the same time, the Fremen begin to revere Paul as their prophesied messiah Lady Jessica is not only aware of this because her order planted the myth among the Fremen, but she distrusts it, as it could lead Paul down a destructive path. In the book, Paul not only trains with his adoptive Fremen compatriots, but he and his mother train them in the Bene Gesserit form of combat known as the Weirding Way. ![]() Entertainment)Ĭonsidering where Dune ends - Chani ( Zendaya) literally saying “this is only the beginning” - Dune: Part Two will use the latter half of Herbert’s first Dune novel as its roadmap.
