Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve has revealed the existence of a 'Worm Unit' that perfected the movie's highly-anticipated sandworm riding scenes. In the movie, sandworms are giant worms native to Arrakis that Fremen are able to ride on. Promotional material for the film indicates Paul Atreides will be riding on said worms, proving himself as the prophetic Lisan al-Gaib.
Villeneuve explained that the upcoming Dune: Part Two had a 'Worm Unit' to develop sandworm riding for the film. Led by the director's wife, producer Tanya Lapointe, the major undertaking was done to ensure the pivotal scenes looked as realistic as possible.
