Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet will return to lead the cast of the drama, which will also include Rebecca Ferguson as Jessica, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck and Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan.

The movie will be based on the second book and will continue the story of how young Paul Atreides ends up conquering the galaxy. It is still not known when it could arrive on screen, as the director confessed that he wants to take a break.

Undoubtedly, filming this type of drama is not easy and requires a lot of preparation, time and dedication. That’s why the Canadian filmmaker assured that he would take some time away from after the last two installments.
