Final 'Dune: Part 3' Trailer Officially Makes Timothée Chalamet the Villain

Right now is an exciting time to be a Dune fan, and not just because of the looming release of Dune: Part Three. In the last few months, the popular video game Dune: Awakening was recently added to PS5 with new story missions and content, and the game has been a massive hit so far. There's also the highly anticipated second season of Dune: Prophecy, which is expected on HBO Max sometime next year, though an official date has not been set. Still, all these new releases pale in comparison to Dune: Part Three, which is officially coming to theaters on December 18. The film is set to go head-to-head with Avengers: Doomsday on opening weekend, making for the biggest single-weekend event since Barbie and Oppenheimer dropped at the same time back in 2023.

This afternoon, Warner Bros. released what is confirmed to be the final trailer for Dune: Part Three before the film hits theaters in less than two months. In the new trailer, fans will see Paul (played by Timothée Chalamet) lean further into his dark side as his descent into a full-on villain is nearly complete. Paul has been a mostly heroic figure in the first two movies, but years of war are going to change the audience's perspective on him in the third and final chapter. In addition to Chalamet, Dune: Part Three stars Zendaya as Chani, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Jason Momoa as Hayt, a clone of Duncan Idaho, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, Robert Pattinson as Scytale, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, and Javier Bardem as Stilgar.

Here's What Denis Villeneuve Is Doing After 'Dune 3'

Once he finishes work on Dune: Part Three, including promoting the film and doing his final rounds of interviews, director Denis Villeneuve will be free to fully begin working on the next James Bond movie in the works at Amazon. Peaky Blinders scribe Steven Knight is writing the script for the film, and while not yet confirmed, it's expected that it will shoot in 2027 and possibly even be released in 2028. The next James Bond actor has not been announced at the time of writing in late October, but all signs point to someone like Slow Horses veteran Jack Lowden taking over the role of 007.
