The first trailer for Dune: Part Three has officially been released by Warner Bros, giving audiences their first proper look at the next chapter in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi saga. You can watch the trailer below!
Directed once again by Denis Villeneuve, the film continues the story following Dune: Part Two, which saw Paul Atreides step fully into power as the conflict on Arrakis escalated. The new footage teases a darker continuation, with the consequences of those events beginning to unfold on a much larger scale.
Timothée Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides, alongside Zendaya as Chani, with the third film bringing back a number of key characters from across the series. Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, and Anya Taylor-Joy are all expected to take on much larger roles this time around, reprising their parts as Princess Irulan, Lady Margo,t and Alia.
Returning cast members also include Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, and Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, who appears to return in some form. The film will also introduce Robert Pattinson as Scytale, a new antagonist, with Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke set to appear as Paul and Chani’s twin children, Leto II and Ghanima.
Alongside the trailer, a series of new character posters have also been released, offering first looks at all the characters.
Visually, the film continues the same style established in the earlier instalments, with large-scale desert landscapes, detailed world-building and a focus on atmosphere. Like the previous films, it looks set to balance spectacle with a more character-driven story.
As stated by Denis Villeneuve himself during the press conference unveiling the trailer: “‘Dune Messiah’ is a book that is, by far, probably my favorite book of the series. It’s a very dark book, a beautiful book,” he said. “I will say this, it is one of my most personal films, if not my most personal film. So it’s a film that is very close to me and very contemporary.”
Dune: Part Three will be released in UK cinemas on 18th December.
