Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem and Charlotte Rampling all return to their roles from the first Dune film.

They're joined by Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Lea Seydoux as Lady Margot, and Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV.

At the New York City premiere of Dune 2 (see our TikTok coverage here!), when Florence was told Timothée Chalamet called her a "superpower star," Florence talked about how much she loved working with her cast mates — and even got a little emotional.

"I've had the luxury of getting to work with that man [Timothée], who I knew as a boy, and every time I meet him and work with him, I get to fall in love with him more and more," she tells ET. "I get to watch my friend become not only just the most amazing actor but lead sets. Like, lead how it's supposed to be led. And I think we just all have the utmost respect for each other...It's just been a total love fest this press tour."

Will there be a Dune 3?

Yes, director Denis Villeneuve wants to make a Dune 3! "The screenplay's in progress," he tells Vanity Fair. "I'm very happy where it's going, but it's not finished."

“I want to make sure that if we go back there a third time that it'll be worth it, and that it would make something even better than Part Two,” he continues. “It needs to be different. I don't want to fall into dogmas. I don't want to fall into a vocabulary that has been pre-defined by the two first movies.”

He also revealed during a South Korean press conference for Dune 2 that a Dune 3 is already in pre-production! “[Dune Messiah] is being written right now,” he says in the interview. “The screenplay is almost finished, but it’s not finished. It will take a little time.”

As far as the Dune 3 plot, he also shares that a third movie will Paul Atreides as he makes his way through “the end of [his] journey.” I could watch ten Dune films so I am more than on board for Dune 3!
