New looks at Austin Butler and Florence Pugh's Dune 2 characters feature heavily in the latest trailer

A new Dune: Part Two trailer has dropped – and we're here for more scary Austin Butler.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed above, we see Timothée Chalamet return as Paul Atreides, this time teaming up with the Fremen people to take on the Harkonnens. "You've been fighting the Harkonnens for decades," he says. "My family has been fighting them for centuries." We also see the romance between Paul and Chani (Zendaya) continue to blossom. But perhaps the most interesting part of the trailer is the return of Butler's bald, toothless, and terrifying villain – who Florence Pugh's Princess Irulan refers to as "psychotic."

Despite rumors of a three-hour runtime, a new report has confirmed that the sequel will only be 2 hours and 45 minutes – which is still pretty long. Villeneuve has also nearly completed the script for Dune: Part 3, which has yet to be greenlit.

The film was initially slated for an October 20, 2023 release, before being pushed back to November and finally settling on a March 2024 premiere due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA actors' strike.
