It’s certainly disappointing that Dune: Part Two isn’t in theaters right now but sometimes waiting is the best part. Case in point, today we’ve been graced with a brand new trailer, and it’ll make you somehow even more excited for the sequel than you already are. Which is really saying something.
Dune: Part Two stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, and many more. It opens March 1 and here’s the new trailer.
The main thing you get from that trailer is that Part Two is just a much, much bigger movie than Part One. Part One had to move all the pieces into place. Now, Paul is becoming the leader of an entire people and will use them to win back their planet. We’re talking war on a planetary scale, which—most excitingly—includes not just one, but multiple sandworms tearing through soldiers. Can you wait to see that shot in IMAX? We can’t.

Emotion is going to play an even bigger role here too. The trailer makes it clear Paul’s feelings for Chani, and vice versa, are a huge factor in everything that’s happening and, knowing the story of Dune, ends up being a massive influence on how Paul decides to rule not just Arrakis, but maybe beyond.

Oh and then there are about a billion other incredible actors playing all manner of crucial roles and… am I the only one suddenly feeling like it’s time for a Dune: Part One rewatch?

Dune: Part Two is coming on March 1 and has the potential to be one of the year’s best, not just sci-fi films, but films in general. At least, that’s our hope.
