Fans can soon return to their favorite epic science fiction universe as the release ofDune: Part Twois quickly approaching. As they eagerly await the arrival of the latest installment of the franchise, an extended sneak peek has been revealed via the official Fandango X (Twitter) account, featuring Paul Atreides in one of the original story’s most iconic moments.
The footage features an extended scene of Paul, played byTimothée Chalamet, finally riding on one of the giant sandworms from the deserts of Arrakis, cheered on by the Fremen. The clip effectively showcases the epic scope of the scene, with the size of the sandworm shown in its full jaw-dropping glory. While the creatures made their appearance in the first film, audiences only got a small glimpse of them, with the movie serving more as a setup for the franchise itself. However, with the world of Arrakis now established, directorDenis Villeneuvecan fully utilize the rich universe of the story.
Additionally, the sneak peek also does a good job of establishing Paul’s relationship with the Fremen, especially Chani (Zendaya) and Stilgar (Javier Bardem). The characters can be seen serving as mentors to Paul as he fulfills his destiny as Muad’Dib on a path of revenge against the imperial conspirators who murdered his father. Similar to the sandworms, the Fremen only played a small role in the last installment, serving as the endpoint for Paul’s journey inDune: Part One. But that was only the first step in an epic journey that will lead Paul into a terrible future that only he can foresee. What is the fate of Arrakis? Those who haven’t read the book will find out when the film opens on the big screen this March.
‘Dune: Part Two’ Will Serve as the Conclusion to the Latest Adaptation of the Book

And it looks like the next installment is shaping up to be an even bigger entry in the franchise with more epic battle scenes while serving as the conclusion to the two-part adaptation ofFrank Herbert’s original novel.
