Heroes of the second part of "Dune" by Denis Villeneuve in comparison with actors from other film adaptations (9 photos)

If you look at all the film adaptations of Dune, you can come to the conclusion that Frank Herbert's novel is cursed. After all, all film adaptations ended in failure. Even the master David Lynch failed. However, in 2021 Denis Villeneuve managed to break the spell. The first part received a lot of enthusiastic responses from critics and viewers. And today its sequel has been thundering in cinemas around the world for almost a month. And we can safely say that this is a success. The film grossed more than half a billion dollars, received excellent press and high ratings from audiences. By the way, have you already watched the sequel? If not, then first take a look at how the characters appearing in the film "Dune: Part Two" look compared to other film adaptations.
