'Dune: Part Two' trailer: Timothee Chalamet rides a giant SANDWORM in Denis Villeneuve's heart-pumping EPIC
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The mind-boggling trailer for the highly anticipated movie ‘Dune: Part Two’ has finally been released and is everything people expected. There was a lot of curiosity about the sequel to the 2021 film and fans have been eagerly waiting to see some epic footage from the movie since this year’s CinemaCon. The trailer begins with Paul (Timothee Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) enjoying the view of the never-ending desert. But he knows that a war is coming and he needs to get ready for it. Paul is hellbent on retribution for his father's, Duke Atreides, death, despite his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Fergusson), telling him that his father “didn’t believe in revenge.”
As the trailer progresses, we get introduced to Princess Irulan played by Florence Pugh who seems to believe that Paul’s entire family is dead, pointing at “the end of House Atreides.” The clip continues with Irulan making an assumption about Paul and wondering: “What if Paul Atreides was still alive?”

Meanwhile, Paul is getting ready for a fight and has started training with Chani’s tribe on Arrakis. Paul has now joined the tribe, the Fremen, to start a war against the empire that rules them all. Despite all the tension, the lovely relationship between Paul and Chani continues to blossom as they sit together and enjoy the view of the gorgeous-looking desert. Paul says, “It's breathtaking. When you see sand here, imagine water. When you dive in, you can’t reach the bottom.”
Chalamet RIDES a giant Sandworm while training for war
One of the most exhilarating moments of the trailer arrives when Paul is training to be a fighter by Stilgar (Javier Bardem) and learns to ride one of the gigantic sandworms that rise to the surface, destroying everything in their path. Stilgar and Chani are stunned after seeing Paul accomplish such a monumental feat. However, someone sinister is waiting for him and his name is Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler), a bald scion of the Harkonnes, an enemy family to the Atreides. He has the skills of an extraordinary fighter and can be seen fighting someone in an arena that looks a little like a Colosseum.
In the ending moments of the clip, Paul can be seen standing on what looks like a cliff, raising his sword, and leading the massive army to a flight.
