The director, Denis Villeneuve, says that Dune: Part Two will be more action-packed and epic than the first movie, which was more thoughtful.

Villeneuve confirmed that the sequel uses entirely unique settings by showing the first footage from the film at CinemaCon.

Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are back in the movie, as are Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin, among others. The new group members are Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Léa Seydoux. The movie is based on a book by Frank Herbert and will come out on November 3.

According to the official summary for the movie, Dune: Part Two will follow the mythical journey of Paul Atreides as he teams up with Chani and the Fremen and goes after the people who killed his family. When he has to choose between the love of his life and the future of the known world, he tries to stop a terrible future that only he can see coming.

Even though there were problems with the plague, the first Dune movie did well at the box office. It made $400 million and was nominated for several awards. Director Denis Villeneuve has said that he might be interested in using the second book in the series as the basis for a third movie.
