Dune: Part Two was originally going to be released today before the Hollywood strikes forced Warner Bros. to push the movie back to next March, but the studio hasn't let the day go by unmarked!
A third full trailer for the second part of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi saga is now online, and it features plenty of breathtaking new footage, as Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) takes up arms against the Harkonnens and begins to embrace his destiny as the fabled Fremen messiah known as Muad'Dib.
Unfortunately, it won't just be the Baron's (Stellan Skarsgård) forces that Paul and his people face, as the Emperor (Christopher Walken) dispatches a sadistic - and highly formidable - assassin named Feyd Rautha (Austin Butler) to deal with the problem.
Feyd Rautha Harkonnen is the Baron's nephew in Frank Herbert's novel, but it looks like this adaptation may be making a significant change to the character's origin.
