The first full look at the sci-fi sequel kicks off with the pair's characters, Paul Atreides and Chani, sharing a sweet moment together before diving into the tense plot of the film.

Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh makes her debut as Princess Irulan, who sets her sights on Paul as she looks to uncover the secrets of Arrakis.

Also new to the franchise is Elvis star Austin Butler, who has made yet another impressive physical transformation as he is nearly unrecognizable in his role as the villainous Feyd-Rautha.
