The first trailer for Dune: Part Three has just dropped from Warner Bros. and Legendary, and it looks like we’re in for one hell of an epic finale to Denis Villeneuve‘s reimagined sci-fi trilogy.
Releasing this December, the film is based on Frank Herbert‘s novel Dune: Messiah (1969) and takes place 17 years after the events of Dune: Part Two. As an aside, Villeneuve had previously stated to Vanity Fair that these movie will NOT be counted as a trilogy (but it does carry on the story, and states ‘trilogy’ right there in the trailer so I guess we can ignore that now).
Anyway, what we’ve got on our hands is a final chapter that will hit harder than the previous two, and will hopefully draw this monumental cinematic saga to a satisfactory ending. And, considering Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two pulled in a combined $1.12 billion worldwide, with eight Oscars across 15 nominations, it’s… probably going to do alright.
The trailer starts with a scene featuring Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya), where they talk about names for their child, before we get a much wider picture of the sheer scale of war and destruction taking place.
Check out the full trailer below:
Also returning for more death, destruction and desert are cast members Florence Pugh, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and Jason Momoa, alongside newcomers like Anya Taylor-Joy and Isaach de Bankolé.
And you’ll be able to watch Dune: Part Three when it’s released on 18th December.
