In 2021, director Denis Villeneuve delivered what was long thought by Hollywood to be impossible: a fully faithful adaptation of author Frank Herbert's beloved sci-fi epic Dune. But the filmmaker's work wasn't done with the one blockbuster. The movie only brought to life the first half of the book – leaving the rest of the material for a potential sequel. Now, nearly two years later, we are on the verge of finally seeing Dune: Part 2, and the first trailer for the film has us more excited than ever.
This preview was teased yesterday with a first look at Florence Pugh's Princess Irulan and Austin Butler's Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (which itself came on the heels of footage debuting at CinemaCon), but our minds are no less blown. From riding sandworms to budding romance to giant battles, this trailer has us ready to be stunned by everything that Dune: Part 2 is promising to deliver when it hits the big screen at the end of the year.
