The movie, which originally was supposed to come out this month before the release date changed, will now arrive even earlier in the spring
If you just gotta get that spice, you’re in luck. Dune: Part Two will now open in theaters on March 1 — two weeks earlier than previously announced. Fans can thank Universal for pushing Ryan Gosling’s The Fall Guy back to May, according to The Hollywood Reporter, thus lightening up the release date competition a little. (And not to bury the lede, but since the film is no longer opening a few days before St. Patrick’s Day, the chances of stepping in green puke on your way to the spice are now virtually nil but not statistically impossible since it’s still spring break time.)
Hardcore spiceaholics, of course, will find the news bittersweet since the picture was originally supposed to be out already. Warner Bros. and film studio Legendary decided to push it to spring, though, since the actors’ strike would have prohibited Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya from plugging it. (Chalamet is already on it, of course, having shouted it out during his recent SNL monologue.)
The picture, which Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve directed, will also see the return of Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, and Josh Brolin and the additions of Christopher Walken, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and Léa Seydoux to the cast. It will also be available to view in IMAX and IMAX 70mm formats.
Villeneuve would like to make one more Dune sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Part One is more of a contemplative movie,” the director said at CinemaCon in April. “Part Two is an action-packed, epic war movie. It is much more dense. We went to all new locations. I didn’t want a feeling of repetition. It’s all new sets. Everything is new.”
