Dune Fans Fuming Over Part Two Delay: Outraged Supporters Ready to Take Legal Action!
Dune fans left reeling by the delay of Part Two are grappling with overwhelming disappointment, as their deep connection to the franchise intensifies their struggle to come to terms with the news
No need to panic, as no one is suing anyone. However, the delayed release date of Dune Part Two is causing distress among some fans, making them feel as though they could.
Amid the ongoing strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA, Dune Part Two has been impacted as well, leading to its postponement on the 2023 worldwide cinema schedule, which is considered a significant setback.
The film, originally scheduled to release in November 2023, has been postponed by four months, pushing its new release date to March 15, 2024.
While some fans have reacted humorously to the delay of Dune Part Two, jokingly suggesting that moviegoers have endured "emotional damage," others have responded differently.
Fans struggle to cope with the Dune Part Two delay
Parody DiscussingFilm account DisbussinFilm jokingly tweeted that an anonymous fan is “suing” Warner Bros. for emotional damage following the Dune Part Two delay.
“This moviegoer reportedly had ‘nothing else to look forward to this year’ and is hoping the studio reverses course,” the rest of the tweet reads.
Several fans have strongly identified with the delayed release of Dune Part Two, even though it is a fictional situation.
"I don't appreciate your intrusion into my personal affairs," one person responded, while another declared, "I am the unidentified viewer."
A fan shared a stronger reaction on social media to the delay announcement made in August.
“The strikes have caused immense disruption, and now the film I was most excited about has been affected and pushed back to 2024,” the comment reads. “I express my strong disapproval towards SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and AMPTP. You are all equally greedy, complaining, entitled individuals who are only interested in outdoing one another. The consumers are also negatively affected.”
The majority of reactions to the viral social media thread were not as intense.
One user commented, "Club Chalamet really needs to find some new interests," while another said, "Thank you to everyone who tagged me in this. You're right, they found out about my lawsuit. I appreciate your complete support."
"Putting jokes aside, if the AMPTP finally takes control and offers a fair agreement to SAG-AFTRA next week, effectively ending the strike, there would be no obstacles for WB to make a wise decision and give Dune 2 the option of either taking the Wonka slot (perhaps moving to Easter?) or the Aquaman 2 slot (consider moving to Summer?)" another user pondered.
Apart from the delayed release, not much is known about Dune Part Two. The film's synopsis states: "Paul Atreides joins forces with Chani and the Fremen as he seeks vengeance against the conspirators responsible for the destruction of his family. Faced with a choice between his true love and the destiny of the universe, he must prevent a dire future that only he can foresee."
Dune: Part Two is set to hit theaters on March 15, 2024. Find out more about the movie here.
