Warner Bros. officially postponed Denis Villeneuve’s Dune sequel until March 15 2024, on Thursday, August 24. The announcement coincides with an unprecedented Hollywood strike by the writers’ and actors’ guilds. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was concurrently postponed from its original March 14 2024 release date to April 12 2024.
The studio’s significant December 2023 releases, Wonka (December 15), Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (December 20), and The Color Purple (December 25), are remaining in place for the time being. IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond claimed that rumours of a Dune: Part Two delay were “not true” just one month prior.
Regarding the movie’s prior release date of November 3 2023, he declared, “I feel quite strongly that it’s not going to move.” Paul Atreides, the main character of the film series based on Frank Herbert’s enduring science fiction novel epic of the same name, is portrayed by Timothée Chalamet.
Oscar nominee Austin Butler, who plays the terrifying Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, younger nephew and heir of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgrd), is among the new cast members joining the sequel. Tim Blake Nelson, Souheila Yacoub, a Fremen warrior, and Léa Seydoux also join the cast as Lady Margot, a Bene Gesserit.
Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Skarsgrd, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, and Stephen McKinley Henderson all reprise their roles from the 2021 movie. Zendaya reassured fans about her screen time in the next film shortly after the “jaw-dropping” first trailer debuted at CinemaCon this year.
