About the argument
Looking back , Dune concludes with Paul officially joining the Fremen and his aspiration to bring peace to Arrakis. The film ends with Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica, setting off with the Fremen to their hometown. On this journey, Paul eventually witnesses a Fremen member riding a sandworm.
In this new installment we will find some new characters such as Princess Irulan, who is the emperor's firstborn, who will become Paul's wife for political reasons, as well as Alia Atreides, who will be the daughter of Lady Jessica, and the deceased Duke Leto. Throughout the film you will be able to find themes related to the first part, however we consider that you will see the details directly in theaters ;)
