Whether it's the devilish new characters, cryptic answers to ancient prophecies, or giant worms, the trailer for Dune: Part Two is full of details that you might've missed.
It can be argued that the parent-child relationship between Lady Jessica and Paul may be one of the most dynamic in science-fiction.
Dune author Frank Herbert's characterization of Lady Jessica is nuanced, with her motives to conceive Paul being her desperate love of Duke Leto Atreides and her personal desire to bring about the Kwisatz Haderach — the universe's super being.
But as close as she and Paul are in the first film, the cracks begin to show when Paul realizes how his Bene Gesserit lineage has affected him.
He still has a long way to go before achieving his destiny, but the closer he gets, the more it pushes him away from those who can understand him.
Though Paul seems to believe that he must cling to his father's principles, he's already slipping.
His visions have shown him that he will start a intergalactic holy war, and with Duke Leto not believing in revenge, it's fair to say he wouldn't approve of the genocide that Paul is seemingly destined to cause.
This brings Paul inner turmoil as he doesn't want to be capable of these unspeakable acts — but Jessica continues to push him, all while he starts pulling away from her influence.
"We gave them something to hope for." "That's not hope!" In the Dune: Part Two trailer, we see Lady Jessica gasping for air and opening her eyes, now the vibrant blue of the Fremen.
This color change usually indicates prolonged exposure to Spice — an addictive psychoactive substance found only on the planet Arrakis, considered the most valuable substance in the universe.
