When the first teaser of ‘Dune: Prophecy’ was released in May, fans got excited to see this expansion of the ‘Dune’ films. Additionally, what upped the ante for Indian fans was when it was reported that actor Tabu would be seen in the web series. The first teaser did not give the audience a glimpse of her character. But the second teaser that was released last night introduces Tabu in a powerful avatar.
The 1:10 minute long teaser of ‘Dune: Prophecy’ is set years before the ‘Dune’ films and it revolves around Bene Gesserit. The web series will revolve around how the Bene Gesserit trains the sisters to gain powers and fight their enemies. The teaser reveals that the more powerful these sisters get, the more enemies they end up making on their way.
Amidst this, a brief glimpse of Tabu as Sister Francesca is shown by the makers. The actor is seen in an all-black attire with a cape and a head cover. Her character does not speak much but she stares straight into the camera with folded arms. The pose exudes a sense of power and authority.
