‘Dune: Part Two’ is fast approaching with a release date November 3, 2023, and this morning Vanity Fair has an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming film.

The piece has a ton of new images for the upcoming movie but we’ll share with you a few new ones of note.

Returning director Denis Villeneuve tells Vanity Fair that Part Two is a “war epic action movie,” while also noting that it’s not a sequel but rather a true “second part.”

He explains to the outlet, “It’s important—it’s not a sequel, it’s a second part. There’s a difference. I wanted the movie to really open just where we left the characters. There’s no time jump. I wanted dramatic continuity with part one.”

Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Josh Brolin will return for Dune: Part Two, which is once again directed by Denis Villeneuve (Dune).

Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, Austin Butler, Tim Blake Nelson and Christopher Walken also star in Dune: Part Two, making for one hell of an ensemble cast.

A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
