'Dune: Part 2' release postponed to 2024 as actors strike lingers

The release of “Dune: Part Two,” one of the fall’s most anticipated films, has been postponed from November until next near. Warner Bros. confirmed the shift Thursday. Denis Villeneuve’s science-fiction sequel had been set to open Nov. 3, but will instead land in theaters March 15. With the actors strike entering its second month, “Dune: Part Two” had been rumored to be eyeing a move. Warner Bros. is opting to wait until its starry cast can promote the follow-up to the 2021 Oscar-nominated “Dune.” “Part Two” stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Léa Seydoux.
