Based on the novel, this flick first hit the big screen in 1984, but it's time to revamp everything fans know and love about the story. From Jason Momoa to Josh Brolin, this cast is star-studded. Before it hits the big screen, here are 10 movies you should watch with this incredible cast - to get to know them and to prepare yourself for this sci-fi adventure.
Rebecca Ferguson: Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
This actress will be playing Lady Jessica in Dune, but she's certainly no newbie to the big screen. She's a Golden Globe nominee, and has stared in many sci-fi, action, and thriller flicks. However, to prepare for this movie, fans should get binging the Mission: Impossible series.
She appeared in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation as Isla Faust, and returned for another. Of course, there are two more that have been announced! For fans of Tom Cruise and action-packed thrills, these flicks are Ferguson's most famous.
Oscar Isaac: Star Wars - The Force Awakens (2015)
This actor has been on the scene for years, but he sure made a name for himself as Poe Dameron in the newest sequels of this iconic sci-fi franchise. For anyone excited for Dune, this story in a faraway galaxy is the perfect binge to prepare.
Oscar Isaac slays his role as a pilot of the Resistance, and any sci-fi fan should go watch, or re-watch, every episode of the Star Wars series. For lovers of sci-fi, fans can enjoy this series and Oscar Isaac before Dune.
Dave Bautista: Hotel Artemis (2018)
Yes, fans can head over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and binge Guardians of the Galaxy for more of this actor, but there is enough superhero flicks to binge on this list. This underrated crime drama is set in the future and follows a nurse - who runs an emergency room for criminals.
With Jodie Foster and Sofia Boutella at his side, Bautista slays this dystopian action flick. Fans can watch out for him in Dune, where he'll be playing Glossu 'Beast' Rabban.
Timothée Chalamet: The King (2019)
This young actor has recently taken Hollywood by storm. With an Oscar nomination, he's worked on some incredible projects. This Netflix Original is a biography drama about King Henry V.
Starring Chalamet, this flick is him at his most action-packed, mature, and powerful. With war, politics, and family, this movie is a must-see for this talented young man.
Jason Momoa: Aquaman (2018)
Some fans of Momoa probably aren't head over heels for this DC superhero, and it's definitely okay binge Frontier or Game of Thrones instead. However, this action fantasy stars Jason Momoa as a superhero - in all his action glory.
An heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, fans can certainly expect some family drama, some superpowers, and some action thrills - plus, a brilliant Momoa.
Zendaya: Spider-Man Homecoming (2017)
There are two superhero flicks on this list, but this one heads over to the MCU. The newest installment of Peter Parker's story (starring Tom Holland), Zendaya takes a leading role as Michelle.
For those who are excited for Dune, this hilarious, action-packed superhero flick is a good bet to get to know this actress. Of course, her role in the musical drama, The Greatest Showman, was also a hit.
Javier Bardem: No Country For Old Men (2007)
Javier Bardem joined the Coen brothers to play the iconic villainous role of Anton Chigurh. He won the Oscar for this role! This crime drama follows a hunter (Josh Brolin) who finds himself on the run after he stumbles across two million dollars, from a drug deal gone wrong.
This thrilling flick has Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, and Javier Bardem - as the ruthless man who hunts down the hunter. He'll be playing Stilgar in Dune, and fans should certainly watch his best role to date before they indulge.
Charlotte Rampling: Red Sparrow (2018)
For fans of action and thrillers, this one will prepare anyone for anything that is to come from the sci-fi world of Dune. Jennifer Lawrence plays a Russian intelligence agent, whose interests are shared with a CIA agent - bound to tear down the security of both countries.
Rampling plays the Matron and is joined by Joel Edgerton and Jeremy Irons. This thrilling and mysterious flick is a must-see and is a role to prepare all fans for Rampling's upcoming appearance in Dune.
Stellan Skarsgård: The Physician (2013)
The casting director of this flick definitely pulled some familiar faces from superhero flicks, but for Stellan Skarsgård, fans should binge this lesser-known history drama.
Taking a break away from the action, this movie takes place in the 11th Century and follows a surgeon's apprentice who pretends to be Jewish to study at a school. This intriguing story is a stunning role for Skarsgård and should be watched immediately.
Josh Brolin: Sicario (2015)
Josh Brolin is also actually a member of the MCU, but this flick is great for fans to get a taste of another type of action. This Oscar-nominated crime drama follows an FBI agent (Emily Blunt) who joins a government task force to stop a war on drugs between Mexico and the States.
However, she is challenged by the corrupt and devastating nature of her fellow agents. With Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro, this action flick is darker and more unique than any out there and is a masterful role to prepare fans for Josh Brolin in Dune.
