Dave Bautista Gets Ready for Dune 2 in New Photos

Dune 2 star Dave Bautista is already getting ready for the sequel in some brand new photos. On Instagram, the former WWE superstar hyped the fans up with a new post. “If the spice must flow, then the beard must go,” he said. Of course, the fans delighted in the idea of being so close to Dune Part Two. When the first movie launched in theaters, it was a big box office draw. Warner Bros. felt so strongly about its performance that it green lighted a sequel the following Monday. It was viewed as a massive win for Denis Villeneuve, as a lot of fans wondered if they would ever see the story be rendered successfully on-screen again after the previous couple of attempts. Now, the action shifts forward and things can get even weirder. Check out the post down below.

The star previously said that getting this role made him feel so good that he realized leaving his wrestling career was worth it. During a conversation with Collider, the actor explained that he was approached by Villeneuve to work on this project personally.

“We tracked that movie for months because I wanted to be a part of it so bad,” the actor revealed. “I never reached out, because I don’t want to be that guy, like ‘Hey, Denis, is there a part for me?’ I never wanted to be that guy. But he actually called me, he didn’t say anything like ‘so there’s this part…’ He just straight up asked me if I would come and play this part. I was so taken aback I didn’t even know what to say, except for, obviously, ‘yes.’”

He added, “Moments like that really gauge how far I’ve come, as an actor. There’s a lot of pride in it for me that a director like Denis would call like that and offer me a role in a film that I know is going to be enormous. Because people have been waiting for this for years and years and years. And people are so passionate about the novels. So for him to offer me such an integral part of this film, for me, it was a personal statement. I can’t purchase that type of emotion, that sense of pride. These are the few moments in life where I get that, where I feel like my life is worth something, I did something with my life. My life means something.”

Dune has a description from Warner Bros.: “A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive.”
