Measured in Centuries
Set nearly 20 years into the future, Paul Atreides must face the consequences of the war he waged on those he loved and despised
The first look into the final film of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune has arrived. The new Dune: Part Three trailer finds Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet) facing the consequences of his megalomania after waging a holy war at the coda of the previous film. It hits U.S. theaters, including IMAX and 70mm screens, on Dec. 18.
At the end of Dune: Part Two, Atreides launches a holy war, to the fear and disapproval of his Fremen love interest Chani (played by Zendaya). The Dune: Part Three trailer jumps nearly two decades into the future, where plots against Atreides bubble to the surface. Chani, shown pregnant in an early scene of the clip, is furious and leaves Atreides after his betrayal.
Jason Momoa returns as Hayt, a ghoula (a humanoid clone) of Duncan Idaho, Atreides’ deceased mentor from the first Dune. The duo engage in a sword fight while Atreides’ villainy is exposed. “You’ve conquered the galaxy. You’ve destroyed thousands of worlds,” Hayt tells him. “I think you’re way beyond redemption.” Hayt later heads to the Atreides throne to deliver a peace proposal that sounds simple enough, but he discloses that it will obliterate Atreides’ empire.
