In an interview with Empire Magazine, Dune director Denis Villeneuve commented on why some characters like Dave Bautista's Glossu Raban got lack of screen time.
"When you adapt, you have to make bold choices in order for the things to come to life. And I think that was the best way to introduce this world to a wide audience. Now in the second one, I want to have more flexibility, and it will be possible to go a little bit deeper into some of these details. It’s like a chess game. Some new characters will be introduced in the second part and a decision I made very early on was that this first part would be more about Paul Atreides and the Bene Gesserit, and his experience of being in contact for the first time with a different culture. Second part, there will be much more Harkonnen stuff."
Bautista's character is the nephew of Stellan Skarsgård's Baron Vladimir Harkonnen character so its likely he will be featured more in the sequel.
He also gave an update on the shooting for Dune 2, noting, "We are supposed to shoot by the end of the summer. I will say it is mostly designed. The thing that helps us right now is that it’s the first time I’ve revisited a universe. So I’m working with the same crew, everybody knows what to do, we know what it will look like. The movie will be more challenging, but we know where we are stepping. And the screenplay is written. So I feel confident. Frankly, the only big unknown for me right now is the pandemic."
Dune 2 is scheduled to hit theatres On October 20, 2023.
