It’s official: “Dune” is getting a sequel! Just four days after the release of the film on Oct. 22, 2021, Legendary Pictures confirmed that part two is in the works. “This is only the beginning…,” Legendary tweeted. “Thank you to those who have experienced @dunemovie so far, and those who are going in the days and weeks ahead. We’re excited to continue the journey!”
Director and writer Denis Villeneuve also confirmed the sequel news to Screenrant, previously saying that he already working on the “Dune: Part Two” script. “For me, ‘Dune [Part One]’ is like an appetizer. ‘Dune Part Two’ is the main meal,” he explained.
Returning cast members for “Dune: Part Two” include Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, and Josh Brolin. On March 8, Deadline reported that Florence Pugh is in talks to join the cast. She’s currently in negotiations to play Princess Irulan Corrino, the eldest daughter to Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. If confirmed, Pugh will be the first newcomer to join the sequel.
