Javier Bardem Talks 'Dune 2' Script, Plus See Which Actors Aren't Returning for Sequel

Dune: Part Two is in the works and Javier Bardem is opening up about the new draft of the script that he read.

The Oscar-winning actor will be reprising his role as Stilgar in the upcoming sequel and he commented on the film in a new interview.

“I’ve read the new draft, and I think they’ve done an amazing job of putting together the pieces in a way that is gonna surprise people,” Bardem said at the Cannes Film Festival (via Deadline). “They won’t be surprised [by what happens], obviously, because they’ve read the book, but they’ll be surprised by the way they put it together. I was very moved by it.”

“It’s a movie that is full, and you can feel the weight of it, and at the same time [you can enjoy] the spectacularity of it,” he added. “[I can’t wait] to go back to the desert with those people, and I’m so happy to go back with Denis, who is one of the greatest directors ever. He’s a lovely man.”
