Dune: Part Two: 11 Character Posters Spotlights The Impressive Cast

11 new character posters for Dune: Part Two have been released that spotlight the new and old members of the impressive cast.

When studios were trying to decide earlier this year whether or not actors and writers deserved livable wages, several major movie release dates were shifted because no one wanted to risk not being able to do press for the films. If the late summer showed us anything, these press rounds were extremely important, and studios couldn't get around them. One of the big films that got moved was Dune: Part Two, which moved from October 2023 to March 1, 2024. While this move was a bummer for those who have been waiting since October 2021 for the second half of this film, it also makes a lot of sense. The first film was released under the hybrid release model, where it was in theaters and on HBO Max the same due to COVID numbers.

While the box office was pretty good, that isn't the best condition to release a film. So it's unsurprising that Legendary and Warner Bros. Discovery want Dune: Part Two to be released under the most optimal conditions possible, so the movie got bumped up an additional two weeks once it first opened up as a release date. Now that the end of the year is approaching, studios are starting to tease their spring slates and Dune: Part Two is one of three massive movies coming out before June. Eleven new character posters were released today, showing the impressive new and old cast members. Put this movie in front of my eyes, please.
