Right from the first season, his actions seem offensive, but when you really look into them,it seems like his heart is in the right place, a conflict that makes him one of the most interesting characters as well.

Now thatDuneofficiallyhas a sequel set to hit theaters in 2023, fans ofDenisVilleneuve’s adaptation ofFrankHerbert’s best-selling sci-fi novel would probably prefer thatDune: Part Twostart filming right away. Unfortunately, it seems that this is not the case, as Villeneuve says the second part of his epic won’t start shooting at least until Fall 2022, giving him less than a year to wrap shootings and do all the post-production magic blockbusters need.
