Who could forget Sting as the character in David Lynch’s film? But the new movie is veering in a different direction, with Feyd showing the same stark white, inhuman appearance as the rest of his family. The book and the previous Dune movies depict Feyd-Rautha as a handsome man very unlike the rest of the Harkonnen family. He has the rank of na-Baron, meaning that he’s the one being groomed to replace his uncle when the time comes. But where Paul is noble and heroic, Feyd is cruel and hateful. He’s basically the dark antithesis of Paul - another offshoot of the Bene Gesserit’s efforts to create the genetically perfect being known as the Kwisatz Haderach. Compared to Rabban, Feyd is more devious and cunning. As if that weren’t bad enough, Paul and his new allies have a new enemy to contend with in Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.įeyd-Rautha is Baron Harkonnen’s other nephew. Stellan Skarsgard’s Baron Harkonnen is still alive and well after Duke Leto’s failed assassination attempt in the first movie, as is his nephew, Dave Bautista’s Beast Rabban. Dune fans are anxiously waiting to see what Christopher Walken’s Shaddam IV looks like, but that wait continues for now.

Sadly, we don’t see a glimpse of Irulan’s father in the trailer. Irulan is a skilled biographer and historian, and excerpts from her writings on Paul Muad’Dib appear as epigraphs throughout the original Dune novel.

When we first see Irulan in the trailer, she appears to be recording her thoughts in an audio diary. Marrying her is basically like inheriting the keys to the universe, which means she’s a key part of Baron Harkonnen’s plans for his family. Irulan is the daughter of the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. Meet Princess IrulanĪmong the new faces featured in the Dune, Part Two trailer, we meet Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan. That ritual winds up profoundly transforming her and setting the stage for some major developments in both the original novel and its sequels. Lady Jessica undergoes a ritual to become a Reverand Mother and awaken her genetic memories, which is what appears to be happening in the shot above. Like the Bene Gesserit, the Fremen have their own Reverend Mothers that serve as the tribe’s spiritual leaders. Lady Jessica faces her own test in Dune, Part Two. And like her son, Jessica enjoys a position of honor among these desert nomads, who are fascinated by her fighting abilities and seemingly supernatural powers. Jessica joins Paul in taking refuge with the Fremen. We see several glimpses of Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Jessica in the new trailer. Only then can he begin his quest for revenge against the Harkonnens. Though the Fremen quickly begin to embrace Paul as their prophesied messiah, the Lisan al’Gaib, Paul can’t truly call himself a Fremen until he rides the worm. This sequence promises to be one of the biggest and most technologically impressive in the entire movie.īut why is Paul doing something so dangerous? In Fremen culture, riding a Sandworm is considered a rite of passage for young adults.

Then we see Paul trying to hook one of the massive beasts when it surfaces. We see him laying down a Thumper device, which attracts Sandworms due to its rhythmic pounding. Much of the trailer centers around Paul’s attempt to ride a Sandworm. Most of the story being adapted in Part Two takes place two years after the events of the first Dune, so their relationship has had plenty of time to blossom into romance. He’s clearly grown close to Zendaya’s character Chani, who haunted his dreams in the first movie but will have a much more significant role in Part Two. The two have taken refuge with the nomadic Fremen in the desert, and the trailer shows us that Paul is adapting pretty well to this new life. The first movie ended on a down note, with Paul and his mother mourning the death of Oscar Isaac’s Duke Leto and the collapse of House Atreides. Dune, Part Two may have a lot of new characters, but this is still very much the story of Timothee Chalamet’s Paul Atreides.
