Javier Bardem explains what will surprise fans of Dune 2, even those who have read Frank Herbert’s books

For many years, Frank Herbert Dunes it was considered an unsuitable book. But Denis Villeneuve proved that the studios and the public were wrong when his much loved cinematic experience had a successful launch last fall. With Dune: second part production is expected to start this summer Javier Bardem teased how the sequel will surprise audiences, yes, even superfans.

Javier Bardem spent the end of his week at the Cannes Film Festival, where he took part in a question and answer session (via Term ). When the actor was asked about upcoming Dunes continues, proposes the following update:

I’ve read the new draft. and I think they did an amazing job of putting the pieces together in a way that will amaze people. they will not be surprised [by what happens], of course, because they have read the book, but they will be surprised at how they put it together. I was very moved.

Between movies like There is no country for the elderly Yes fallen from the skyThe star is used to picking extraordinary projects to put her name alongside, so accolades like this one from the Oscar-winning actor are particularly exciting. Although it lacks an element of surprise for many people who have read it Dunes, the actor said even fans of the books will be surprised by the film’s creative decisions. also said this:

It’s a full movie, and we feel the weight of it, and at the same time [you can enjoy] its spectacular character. [I can’t wait] to go back to the desert with these people and I am very happy to find Denis, who is one of the best directors of all time. He is a charming man.

When Denis Villeneuve decides to share the story of Dunes, took the opportunity, as he wasn’t entirely sure he’d have the option of making a sequel if the film didn’t come out commercially. But when it hit theaters in a big way, Warner Bros. announced the sequel just days after the movie hit theaters and HBO Max simultaneously. (You can still watch the movie with a HBO subscription Max .)

Along with Javier Bardem, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard and Rebecca Ferguson are part of the returning cast. Also, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler and Christopher Walken would have been chosen for Dune: second part .

Javier Bardem will return to play Stilgar, who is the frontman of Freman and was at the center of a big stage at the end of the first. movie. when previously talking about how he landed the role of Stilgar Bardem shared that Denis Villeneuve offered him the role over lunch in a very straightforward way. The actor previously revealed that he had read the book many years ago and felt it was one of those roles he aspired to play as a child. Needless to say, he’s living his dream of him and I can’t wait to see how he continues to make the sci-fi sequel.
