He&rsquo;s so kind and I&rsquo;m a fan of every one of those actors in the film, so I felt really honored.&rdquo;

"To do&nbsp;Dune with those specific actors at the front, like&nbsp;Timmy [Chalamet] and&nbsp;Zendaya and Austin [Butler]&mdash;they are remarkable people, number one, and unbelievable actors, number two," she said. "They&rsquo;re stars in their own ways, not in the clich&eacute; way of using the word. They&rsquo;re just&mdash;they&rsquo;re sparkly people. I&rsquo;m now lucky enough to call them all my friends, which is super exciting."

Leading up the release date, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment gave fans a quick <a href="https://www.warnerbros.com/news/press-releases/production-under-way-on-dune-part-two" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overview</a> of the plot:&nbsp;"This follow-up film will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee."&nbsp;
So, does this mean more Zendaya and Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet scenes? Say no more.&nbsp;

Dune: Part Two | Official Trailer

On May 3, Warner Bros. Pictures released an official trailer. The video opens with&nbsp;Chalamet as Paul, who describes to Chani, played by Zendaya, what it might look like if the sand dunes were actually water. Next, we learn from Princess Irulan, played by Pugh, that Arrakis has many secrets. &ldquo;What if Paul Atreides were still alive?,&rdquo; she says as clips of new and familiar characters begin to roll. All in all, the trailer is as action-packed as we could have hoped for, opening the door to an exciting new chapter for the empire.
