Here we go! The hype for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 3 has begun with the release of the anticipated first trailer, as well as new character posters. They reveal our first look at Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Zendaya as Chani, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Isaach de Bankole as Farok, Jason Momoa as a returned Duncan Idaho, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Robert Pattinson as Scytale, and Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica.
Included with the posters and trailer is a single image of Chalamet’s Paul Atreides, looking considerably changed. It’s clear that being head of House Atreides has worn him down physically and emotionally.
The Dune trilogy is based on Frank Herbert’s 1969 novel and a massive expansion as a sci-fi blockbuster franchise which includes the HBO prequel series, Dune: Prophecy. The two movies thus far, released in 2021 and 2024, have earned a combined $1.2B globally.
Dune: Part 3 hits theaters on December 18th.
