Dune: Part Two

Paul is inside the Fremen war, and the people around him start saying the prophecy out loud. Villeneuve treats the belief as a weapon someone can pick up, including Paul. Zendaya’s Chani is the argument against that use. Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha is shot in a world with no sand, so the contrast is political. The Warner Bros. trailer is the worm ride. The film spends as much time on the meetings that decide to call him something else.
