DUNE: PART THREE Character Posters Unveil the Next Phase of Paul Atreides’ Reign
A first look photo and several character posters have been released featuring Timothée Chalamet's character Paul Atreides and the rest of the cast in Dune: Part Three.
The posters feature Zendaya as Chani, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Isaach De Bankolé as Farok, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, and Robert Pattinson as Scytale.
It’s already been teased that this will be a very different chapter in the saga, jumping forward in time, placing Paul years deeper into power and burden, and according to its star, that shift fundamentally reshapes who this character is and how the story feels.
In 2024’s Dune: Part Two, which director Denis Villeneuve co-wrote with Jon Spaihts, Chalamet returned as the warrior prince and chosen one Paul Atreides, who continued his high-stakes journey with his mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) on the dangerous desert planet of Arrakis.
Paul joined the native Fremen people and fell in love with a young warrior named Chani (Zendaya), as they fought for their freedom against the evil Harkonnen empire. In the end, Paul defeats the Harkonnens and launches a holy war against the Great Houses with his Fremen army.
The sequel welcomed new faces to the franchise, including Austin Butler as villain Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen and Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, daughter of Christopher Walken’s Emperor Shaddam IV.
Léa Seydoux also debuted as Lady Margot of the Bene Gesserit. Villeneuve said multiple times during the “Part Two” press tour that a third Dune movie would expand the roles for Pugh, Seydoux and Anya-Taylor Joy — who played the future, grown-up version of Paul’s unborn sister Alia — all of whom had brief appearances in the sequel. Josh Brolin’s Gurney Halleck and Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho will return for Dune: Part Three, which also cast Robert Pattinson as the villain Scytale.
Dune: Part Three is currently on the release calendar for December 18th, where it will face off against Avengers: Doomsday.
