Have you caught your breath yet? Warner Bros. just dropped an incredibly massive trailer for Dune: Part Two and it gives us an even better idea of all the awesomeness Denis Villeneuve is getting ready to drop on the world. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely check it out at this link. Then, once your heart rate slows back down, check out some of our biggest takeaways of how Villeneuve is visualizing classic Dune moments and continuing the story from the first film.
2 / 28
The Harkonnens, thinking they wiped out all of House Atredies, return to Arrakis to continue their spice mining.
3 / 28
Though Paul (Timothée Chalemet) and Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) survived, many, many Atredies people died. Here are the Harkonnens disposing of bodies.
4 / 28
Having been killed in the first movie, this might be the only thing we see of Oscar Isaac’s Duke Leto Atredies in Dune: Part Two. But his death does drive Paul’s ambition—and this is io9, so I’d be fired if I didn’t include Isaac in some way.
5 / 28
Paul, seen here with Chani (Zendaya), has begun to teach the Fremen new ways of fighting. And here we see Chani putting that into practice with some tech her people have been trained on.
6 / 28
Though Fremen leader Stilgar (Javier Bardem), seen here on the right, has embraced Paul as part of his people, not everyone has. It’s an uphill battle.
7 / 28
The Harkonnens don’t know Paul is still alive (yet), but they are still worried about the Fremen and set out to find and kill them.
8 / 28
Everyone thought Paul was dead, including Gurney Halleck, one of his father’s right-hand men and Paul’s mentors. He’s very excited to see Paul still alive and he’ll once again become a close ally.
9 / 28
The trailer features a few shots of Paul riding his first sandworm but Stilgar’s reaction kind of says it all. He’s amazed, as are we.
10 / 28
In Dune lore, this blue substance is used by the powerful Bene Gesserit to turn regular members into Reverend Mothers. In this context, it happens to Lady Jessica, Paul’s mom. It’s also killed every man who has ever drunk it.
11 / 28
A crysknife is a special knife mainly used by the Fremen. Here, we see Paul (we think) using one covered in blood. He’s performed a killing to rise up the ranks.
12 / 28
So what’s this lush, green planet and who are these two people? Well, the planet is Kaitain, the home of Emperor Shaddam. That’s him there with his daughter, Princess Irulan and they’re played by Christopher Walken and Florence Pugh.
13 / 28
If this shot is any indication, Princess Irulan’s costumes are going to be incredible in Dune Part Two.
14 / 28
That’s what Irulan says to her father, the Emperor, to elicit this look. And it’s also our first full look at the ruler of the galaxy in this series of films.
15 / 28
The first trailer gave us our first look at Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the planned ruler of Arrakis if things go the way of his uncle, the Baron. But this trailer also shows Feyd performing for his fellow Harkonnens in almost a Gladiator-type situation. He’s formidable.
16 / 28
There’s another look at Duke Leto in the trailer. Once again as a work of art. This one, however, is burning which is probably bad.
17 / 28
Or so says the Emperor who, we see in the trailer, finds himself face-to-face with Paul. Anyone who has read the book isn’t surprised by this but, yes, Paul does end up in the same room with the person whose plan it was to kill his dad. And notice that Paul has those blue Fremen eyes.
18 / 28
The Fremen launch their attack on the Harkonnens, including a ground assault by Gurney Halleck.
19 / 28
Paul walks through a mass collection of Fremen. They are beginning to believe he’s the leader Arrakis has been waiting for.
20 / 28
Paul’s mom, Lady Jessica, finds herself a Reverend Mother now.
21 / 28
If nothing else, Dune: Part Two will show fans who don’t know the book why Zendaya would want to play this character. Because it’s a huge, meaty role that just so happens to be focused mostly in the second half. And, as you see here, she’s never merely just a love interest.
22 / 28
Warner Bros. isn’t holding back here, showing a nice little look at the film’s final battle between Paul and Feyd.
23 / 28
It’s hard to capture the majesty of this shot in a screencap off YouTube but it’s Paul strolling along with a sandworm jumping out of the ground. This feels like a visual representation of his ultimate form. The very last image of the movie perhaps?
24 / 28
Dave Bautista’s Glossu Rabban, a high-ranking Harkonnen and nephew to the Baron, sees—we think—that Paul is not actually dead.
25 / 28
There’s a reason why everyone is so scared of the Fremen. There are a lot of them.
26 / 28
Paul, by this point a full-fledged leader, drops one of Dune’s most famous lines.
27 / 28
In the trailer’s final shot, we see Paul overseeing a huge bomb going off. He’s got the power. But is that a good thing?
Dune Part Two opens November 3.
