Dune: Part Two
Summary
Dune : Part Twocuts out Paul and Chani ’s child from its plot line , and , from the looks of it , it does the right-hand thing , especially because of one playscript change . Like its harbinger , Denis Villeneuve’sDune 2takes several creative liberties to cross Frank Herbert ’s work to the big screen . For instance , the sequel film avoids taking a 2 - year time jump like its source and does not even cover the backwash of Paul bolt down Jamis in the firstDunemovie .
Paul ’s baby inDune , Alia Atreides , also has a relatively smaller role in the film and persist unborn throughout its runtime . Even Feyd - Rautha ’s demise plays out otherwise in the reference material , make the film ’s version far more gruesome . However , one of thebiggest modification from the books inDune 2is that it completely removes Paul and Chani ’s first kid . While this potentially deviates several other chronicle arcs from the source material , it serves the film ’s narrative coherence and also defend another self-aggrandizing ledger change beleaguer Chani ’s characterization .
Every film adjustment of a book must make certain excision , and Dune 2 had to transfer major role for the sake of the runtime and updated story .

Changes in Chani’s characterization made it impossible for Dune 2 to include her child

Owing to this , even though Paul and Chani ’s child was a part of the original book , including him in the moving-picture show might have prevented it from focusing on other significant scene of the story . AsDune : Part Two ’s co - writer , Jon Spaihts , explained , Chani and Paul ’s childis abruptly introduced in the Frank Herbert Quran , and even his departure is quick and sudden .
Denis Villeneuve’sDune : Part Two , in contrast , depict Chani as a spokesperson of understanding against the Bene Gesserit and Stilgar ’s feeling systems .

In the al-Qur’an , Paul and Chani ’s son , Leto , is instrumental in strengthening their bond . In many ways , he becomes a symbolization of continuity and dedication to their togetherness and relationship . Villeneuve’sDune : Part Two , in dividing line , portrays Chani as a articulation of reason against the Bene Gesserit and Stilgar ’s belief system . Although she fall for Paul , her love does not hold her back from wonder theLisan al - Gaib prophecyand exploring her own notion . Owing to these changes , using Leto as a game gimmick to get Paul and Chani closer would have felt pressure and cliché inDune : Part Two .
Dune 2 Would’ve Struggled To Include Paul & Chani’s Son Even Without Changing Her Story
Dune: Part Two’s nearly perfect story would have had some evident flaws with Leto’s inclusion
IfDune : Part Twohad included Paul and Chani ’s son , it in all likelihood would have struggled to equilibrize its other story elements with the introduction and resolution of Leto ’s electric discharge . As a result , Dune 2might have had pacing issues due to the newfangled character ’s intimacy , diminishing the overall lineament of the full film . For audience , it is also well-fixed to connect well with characters have a more meaningful role in the overarching plot line . With Leto , Dune 2would haverisked introduce a character whose import might have remained unrealized and feel tacked on .
By add another character to its massive roll , Dune : Part Twowould also have importantly increase its budget . Including another character would have made sense if they were more relevant to the Word of God changes introduce in the film . However , since Leto ’s amour would not have added any more heft to Chani ’s news report inDune 2 , the sequel was good off without him .

Will Dune 3 Include Paul & Chani’s Other Children?
Inclusion of other children seems less likely now

Since the Twin , Leto and Ghanima , have a more important role than Leto II the elderberry bush , who gets slay in early childhood , Dune 3or other potential sequels might consider involving them .
