In Dune Part Two, the movie opens with Paul Atreides speaking to his unborn sister in the womb. Alia Atreides is one of the most interesting and magical beings in the entire Dune lore, with the power of prescience unlocked when Jessica drank the Water of Life to become a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother. Appearing in the film only as an embryo, voice, and vision, St. Alia of the Knife will have a larger role in Dune: Messiah and beyond, if Denis Villeneuve adapts the rest of Frank Herbert's novels.
