Based on the second half of Frank Herbert ’s 1965 sci - fi classic , Dune 2picks up where its forerunner left off : having fly the coop the Emperor - backed Harkonnen carnage of House Atreides , Paul Atreides ( Timothée Chalamet ) and his Bene Gesserit female parent , Lady Jessica ( Rebecca Ferguson ) , have sought refuge among a Fremen sietch . guide by Stilgar ( Javier Bardem ) , the kindred of Fremen are split up over Paul ’s striking resemblance to their foretold messiah , Lisan al Gaib .
The younger genesis of Sietch Tabr Fremen , include the warrior Chani ( Zendaya ) , are doubting of any outsider lay claim to be their people ’s salvation . Although Chani is pull back to Paul , she knows the Lisan al Gaib tale were planted by the Bene Gesserit as a means of exacting dominance over the desert - dwell Fremen of Arrakis .

12Who Is Lady Jessica’s Mother?
At Stilgar ’s encouragement , Lady Jessica consumes the Water of Life . By ingesting the poisonous substance , and using her Bene Gesserit grooming to render it harmless , Jessica undergoes spice agony and becomes a Reverend Mother . As a Reverend Mother , Jessica beg into the Bene Gesserit genetic store . Able to get at all the cognition and perceptiveness of her ancestors , Lady Jessica learns a dreaded verity : she is the unlawful daughter of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen(Stellan Skarsgård ) . While the movie reveals this information , it does n’t consist on the other half of Jessica ’s stock .
When it come to the Bene Gesserit , everything is plan . The order want to exert control over the universe by manipulate its outcomes , hence the cautiously plotted breeding program . That say , Lady Jessica ’s lineage is also the intersection of careful selection . WhileDune 2reveals that the Baron is her begetter , thePrelude to Duneprequel novel affirm that theReverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam ( Charlotte Rampling ) is Jessica ’s female parent . Given thatDune 2makes some massive changes to the volume , it ’s possible Jessica ’s mother will be a cardinal plot of ground item inDune 3 .
11What’s The Deal With Paul’s Unborn Sister?
By farDune ’s weirdest fiber , Alia Atreides is Paul ’s young babe . Before Duke Leto Atreides ( Oscar Isaac ) was murdered , he and Lady Jessica conceived another child . That say , when Jessica drinks the Water of Life and undergoes the spicy torment , she ’s meaning . The rite has huge ramifications on the unborn Alia : like her female parent , she is able to solicit into the Bene Gesserit genetic memory . When she ’s born , Alia has all the abilities of a Reverend Mothereven though she ’s a kid . Instead of translating a crack - human tot to the screen , Dune 2wisely choose a unlike path .
UnlikeDavid Lynch ’s 1984Dune , the sequel filmlimits Alia ’s ( Anya Taylor - Joy ) on - screenland appearance to a vision that Paul has after drinking the Water of Life . Throughout the film , Alia is able to communicate telepathically with Jessicafrom the uterus , allowing Paul ’s mother to partake in Alia ’s perceptiveness with him . That say , the movie commute Alia ’s role considerably ; in the book , she is the one to kill Baron Harkonnen , for example . Viewers will have to waitress until Dune 3 to see what Alia ’s Modern fate has in store for her .
10Will Paul & Chani Reunite?
Among its many impertinent changes isDune 2 ’s glide slope to Chani . Instead of restrict her character to being Paul ’s Fremen lover , she ’s an unbelievably adept warrior who ’s rather skeptical of Paul ’s supposed fate . The phonation of a jr. , less devout chemical group , Chani see through the Bene Gesserit ’s schema ; she knows they carefully plotted the germ of a messiah chronicle to control the Fremen . It ’s clear that Chani sleep with Paul , but feels conflicted about his alleged fate . When Paul chooses to become the messiah , Chani ca n’t stand by him , lead viewer to enquire if the brace will ever reconcile .
Chani ’s decision to leave at the end of Dune : Part Two was shrouded in whodunit , and it has massive implications for the futurity of the account .
9Will Paul Really Bring Rain To Arrakis?
Although the book does n’t terminate with Paul , the ego - proclaimed Lisan al Gaib , bringing rain to Arrakis , David Lynch’sDunegoes a more symbolical route . Misguided in its efforts to paint Paul as a submarine , 1984’sDunesees the messiah chassis redact rain upon the desert major planet . AlthoughDune 2mentions this potential narrative , it only shows the sea touching the sands of Arrakis inone of Paul ’s dream visions . In Herbert ’s sequel novel , Dune Messiah , Paul ’s narrative finish on a befittingly tragical note , so it ’s unlikely he ’ll bring rain to Arrakis outside of his dream .
8What Happened To Thufir Hawat?
AlthoughDune ’s Thufir Hawat(Stephen McKinley Henderson ) , a House Atreides - align Mentat , on the face of it survives the Harkonnen / Sardaukar massacre on Arrakis , he does n’t come out inDune 2 . Villeneuve ’s sore Dune 2 book change removes the Atreides ' loyalist ’s whole subplot . In Herbert ’s novel , Hawat tries to bring the Harkonnens down from within by gaining Feyd - Rautha ’s ( Austin Butler ) trust . finally , he even turns Feyd against his uncle , the Baron . Seemingly , Dune 2cuts Hawat ’s part to streamline its news report . At one point in time , Gurney Halleck ( Josh Brolin ) mentions have the survivors off Arrakis and back to Caladan — a possible resolving power for Hawat .
As impressive as Dune : Part 2 is , there ’s one fault in Denis Villeneuve ’s two - part adaptation plan that the film does n’t quite compensate for .
7Who Are Chani’s Parents?
In the novel , Chani ’s blood line is almost as interesting as Lady Jessica ’s braid . Paul ’s love pursuit is the daughter of Imperial Planetologist Liet - Kynes and a Fremen woman , Faroula . InDune , Sharon Duncan - Brewster plays Dr. Liet Kynes , which means the planetologist may be Chani ’s mother in the flick ’s canon . At the closing of the first film , Kynes helps Paul and Lady Jessica run away in an ornithopter and tells them they ’ll meet again . at long last , she ’s killed by Sardaukar troops , butthe import is that she ’s close with the Fremenand will link the mother - Word duet in the desert .
6Is Chani Pregnant With Paul’s Son?
In Herbert ’s novel , Chani becomes meaning with Paul ’s boy , Leto II . Toward the end of the book , the Emperor and Baron Harkonnen amass fleets around Arrakis to thwart the Fremen attacks on spiciness output . As Paul prepares the Fremen for all - out war , the Emperor ’s troop take a Fremen outstation , killing century . While Paul ’s sister , Alia , is beguile , his and Chani ’s son , Leto , is among those who are toss off . Although the moving-picture show focuses on Paul and Chani ’s complicated human relationship , Dune 2doesn’t imply that Chani is pregnant . If that plot line does pass on inDune 3 , it will look drastically different .
In the novel , Paul ’s younger sister is the one who kills Baron Harkonnen …
5What Will Alia’s Role Be In Dune 3?
Since Alia is hold with the power of a full - grow Reverend Mother , she ’s a formidable force — even as a child . In the source stuff , Paul ’s younger sister is the one who down Baron Harkonnen in the grand finale . Of of course , Dune 2ends with Lady Jessica still pregnant , so it ’s ill-defined how Alia ’s role will develop in a third photographic film . With Anya Taylor - Joy sick as Alia , it seems like the film would need to give the lineament a prominent role to make up for her lack of screentime inDune 2 .
4Does Lady Jessica’s Ultimate Allegiance Belong To The Bene Gesserit?
ThroughoutDune 2 , Chani calls out Lady Jessica for adventure Paul ’s biography — especially when he undergo the spice agony . Chani ca n’t believe the Bene Gesserit acolyte would watch her Logos meet ( and possibly give out ) . It ’s clear that Jessica , unlike Paul , is commit to the messiah narrative from the jump . The villainous , freshly minted Reverend Mother uses her influence to sway the Fremen , making their worship of Paul inevitable . That said , it ’s not clear where her ultimate allegiances dwell , but it does seem she puts the Bene Gesserit orderliness above all else , even if she previously disobey them .
3What Role Does Irulan Play In The Bene Gesserit Scheme?
As with Chani , Dune 2puts a much greater stress on Princess Irulan ’s ( Florence Pugh ) function . In the seed material , the Emperor ’s girl appear very concisely on the Sir Frederick Handley Page , though some of the novel ’s elements are attributed to her . A kind of narrator for the epic saga , Irulan is given much more to do inDune 2 . In fact , her connection to the Bene Gesserit and , in particular , Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohaim , is of with child importance . InDune Messiah , Irulan is plight to Paul , though the two do n’t produce an successor .
