Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV is also set to join the cast along with Lea Seydoux and Tim Blake Nelson.
Paul's romance with a princess
Chalamet is expected to have steamy chemistry with Pugh in the second installment of the film series. His character, Paul, will be seen romantically involved with Princess Irulan. She is the daughter of Emperor Shaddam who will be seen as the universe's ruler at the time of the story. Meanwhile, Butler will essay the role of Baron Harkonnen's cruel and cunning nephew.
Paul's revenge against the Harkonnen family
Chalamet's character has risen to power in Dune: Part Two. He is on a quest to seek revenge on the Harkonnen family. Paul and his mother have joined the Fremen and are able to reunite the tribe. He begins to conduct raids on the spice production field of the Harkonnen family and is successful in stalling their Arrakis operation.
More screentime for Zendaya
Dune: Part Two will have more screen time for Zendaya. The actor's character will be seen growing a lot closer to Chalamet's Paul. Not only will Chani have a bigger role in terms of screen time, but will also have a huge impact on Paul's life. Meanwhile, the franchise is based on Frank Herbert's novel. It is slated to release on November 3.
