Returning to the desert planet of Arrakis, Dune: Part Two follows Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he travels across the sandworm-infested deserts of Arrakis with the Fremen, seeking revenge for the murder of his father during an attack on the House Atreides by the House Harkonnen.
Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling and Javier Barden reprise their roles from the first instalment. Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Léa Seydoux joined the ensemble in the latest part of the franchise.
