Javier Bardem on the sequel to "Dina"

Javier Bardem, a famous Spanish actor, one of the stars of the film "Dina" directed by Denis Villeneuve, recently answered questions from fans and announced what we can expect from the continuation of that achievement. “I read the new draft script and I think they did a great job in putting together the pieces in a way that will surprise people” - Bardem said, Deadline reports.

Although he emphasized that those viewers who read the series of books by Frank Herbert will probably not be surprised by what is happening in the film, he believes that they will still be surprised by how the events are composed. "I was deeply moved by the script," the actor said. We will watch Bardem in “Dina 2” again in the role of Stilgar, and the actor points out that he can't wait to return to the set. He called Villeneuve one of the greatest directors of all time.

The director, who received numerous praises for the first part of "Dina" previously told the Los Angeles Times that the film was planned with the sequel in mind. “Some characters are less developed and I'm saving that for another film. So I found balance. We tried to stay as close as possible to Paul’s (Timothee Chalamet) experience in this film. Then we will develop characters in the second (who are a bit neglected in the first.) That's how it is in theory. I hope that it will work” - said Villeneuve.

In addition to Bardem, we will see Timothee Chalamet in the lead role, as well as Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson, and it was recently announced that Christopher Walken will play Padishah Shadham IV. "Dina" received ten Oscar nominations and won a total of six - for best film photography, editing, music, visual effects, scenography, and sound. The sequel has been announced for October 20, 2023.
