Dune Part Two Featuring Batista Delayed Until 2024
Warner Brother Discovery has announced that the highly anticipated film “Dune: Part Two” has been delayed until 2024. The movie, which stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, and former WWE superstar Batista, was originally scheduled to hit theaters this November. However, due to the ongoing strike between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the release date has been pushed back.
The decision to delay the film comes as a disappointment to fans who have been eagerly awaiting the next installment in the “Dune” franchise. The first film, released in 2021, received critical acclaim and was a box office success. The sequel was expected to continue the story and further explore the rich universe created by author Frank Herbert.
According to Variety, “Dune: Part Two” will now be released in 2024. The exact release date has not been announced, but fans can expect to see the film sometime in the spring. The delay is primarily due to the strike, which has caused disruptions in the production and distribution of many films and television shows.
Batista, who rose to fame as a professional wrestler in the WWE, has been making a name for himself in Hollywood. He made his acting debut in the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” film and has since appeared in several other movies, including “Blade Runner 2049” and “Army of the Dead.” In “Dune: Part Two,” Batista will reprise his role as Glossu Rabban, a character he portrayed in the first film.
The news of the delay was met with mixed reactions from fans. While some expressed their disappointment and frustration, others understood the challenges faced by the industry due to the strike. Many fans took to social media to share their thoughts and express their support for the cast and crew of the film.
Despite the delay, anticipation for “Dune: Part Two” remains high. The first film received praise for its stunning visuals, compelling story, and strong performances. Fans are eager to see how the story continues and how Batista’s character develops in the sequel.
In the meantime, fans can revisit the first film and immerse themselves in the world of “Dune.” The latest trailer for “Dune: Part Two” is also available, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect when the film is eventually released.
