Warner Bros. drops final trailer for Dune: Part Three

Dune: Part Three draws on Herbert’s novel Dune: Messiah and will take place roughly 17 years after the end of Part Two , according to Villeneuve, as Paul faces the consequences of his earlier actions. Specifically, an assassination plot is brewing, and Chani is “involved.” Per the official synopsis: Dune: Part Three is set nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seized control of the Imperium.

Now a ruthless Emperor, Paul must face the consequences of his reign as old allies return, terrifying new threats emerge, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Haunted by visions of Imperial collapse and the reappearance of his long-lost love, Paul is drawn into a sweeping conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of its unfolding mystery.

As enemies close in, Paul must confront the true cost of power and the fate of those he loves the most. Chalamet is back as Paul Atreides, along with Zendaya, Pugh, and Ferguson. Josh Brolin reprises his role as weapons master Gurney Halleck; Javier Bardem is back as Stilgar, leader of the Fremen tribe at Sietch Tabr; and Jason Momoa returns as Duncan Idaho/Hayt.

Joining the cast are Anya Taylor-Joy as Paul’s younger sister, Alia; Robert Pattinson as the villainous Scytale, who plots to dethrone Paul; Isaach de Bankolé as Paul’s former Fedaykin, Farok; Nakoa-Wolf Momoa (son of Jason) as Paul and Chani’s son, Leto II Atreides; and Ida Brooke as Paul and Chani’s daughter, Ghanima Atreides.

Dune: Part Three opens in theaters on December 18, 2026, going head to head with Avengers: Doomsday .
