Those who have seen the trailer expect some answers from the upcoming movie, which will tentatively release on November 3, 2023.

Austin Butler's role as Feyd-Rautha Harkonne and other takeaways from Dune: Part Two trailer
1) Austin Butler reveals new bald look
The popularity of the American actor is at an all-time high due to his once-in-a-lifetime performance as Elvis Presley in the 2022 musical biopic Elvis. Butler won a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA for his performance and was nominated for an Oscar.
In Dune: Part Two, Butler will play Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the younger nephew of Baron Harkonnen. He is the planned successor on planet Arrakis, but Chalamet's Paul Atreides won't make the job simple for him. Moreover, his terrifying look has managed to send shockwaves across the internet.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Director Denis Villeneuve described Butler's Feyd-Rautha as "more strategic and more narcissistic" compared to Sting's portrayal of the character in the 1984 adaption.
2) Florence Pugh's anticipated introduction
Florence Pugh has already bagged so many accolades before she even hit 30, and it looks like her best work is still ahead of her. The actress has received nominations for an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award and is mostly known for her films Little Women, Midsommar, and Fighting with My Family.
In Dune: Part Two, Pugh will play Princess Irulan, the Emperor's daughter. She is her father's eldest daughter and has four younger sisters. Virginia Madsen first played the character in the 1984 adaptation of the movie.
3) Terror returns with the Shai-Huluds/Sandworms
Watching this horrendous creature ravaging anything or anybody that comes into its path is what makes this monster so scary. They are gigantic, carnivorous, fast, and dangerous. Paul Atreides almost got killed by one of them in the first movie before he was saved by his mentor Gurney Halleck.
Shai-Huluds/Sandwords are a major problem on planet Arrakis since their presence means death is inevitable. But surprisingly, the Fremen claims that the creatures are sacred.
Dune: Part Two synopsis and other details
