In an interview with , Brolin confirms that his character will return for Dune 2. He says that someone told him he wasn’t on the IMDb page, causing him to call up his publicist and ask his name be added to the page. Brolin added that he was very proud of his involvement in Dune. He also mentions that Dune 2 will be more action-focused and that he’s already training for the reprisal. Read his quote below:

I am a part of Dune Part Two, to the ridiculous extent of when somebody mentioned to me that it wasn’t on IMDb, I actually went out of my way to call Liz (his publicist) and say, “Can you please put that on IMDb?” Because it’s a proud moment for me, man.

As well as talking about Dune 2, Brolin also talked about his shared confusion over why Villeneuve didn’t receive a Best Director nomination at the Oscars for his work on . Brolin agreed that it was a snub and that he didn’t understand how it was possible, given Villeneuve’s large-scale vision for the adaptation. He goes on to say it was one of many bizarre things to come out of the Oscars post-pandemic, but noted that Villeneuve himself was unbothered by the lack of notice.

As beautiful and compelling as the first film was, it was still only half of a story, and it’s hard to gauge how good a story is based on only the first half. Though Villeneuve has proven time and time again how talented of a director he is, Dune 2 is already proving to be the biggest challenge of his career, and he certainly has his work cut out for him. But, with his inarguable talent and the support of a stellar cast that includes Brolin, could prove to be one of the most engaging and satisfying sci-fi films to release in a long time.
