Paul Atreides faces the cost of his holy war in Dune: Part 3 teaser



Warner Bros. just dropped a broody and haunting extended teaser for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 3, the highly anticipated third film in the director’s acclaimed franchise—the last in his planned trilogy.

(Spoilers for first two films in the franchise below.)

In 2021’s Dune, we first met Frank Herbert’s iconic anti-hero, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). That film culminated in the brutal defeat of House Atreides by rival House Harkonnen, with Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), fleeing to the desert and taking refuge with the Fremen. Among them is Chani (Zendaya), whom Paul has been seeing in visions all along.

In Dune: Part 2 (2024), Paul ingratiated himself with the Fremen, learning to ride a sandworm and winning Chani’s love. Meanwhile, a pregnant Lady Jessica had her own plans for Paul as a messiah figure, in order to fulfill a Bene Gesserit prophecy; we learned she was actually Baron Harkonnen’s daughter, married to Paul’s father to merge the bloodlines to bring the prophecy to fruition. Ultimately, Paul challenges the emperor, defeats his champion, and demands the Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) as his wife, to Chani’s chagrin. The other Great Houses reject Paul as ruler, so he essentially launches a holy war against them. And Chani rides off on a sandworm after refusing to bow down to Paul.

Dune: Part Three will take place roughly 12 years after the end of Part Two, according to Villeneuve, as Paul faces the consequences of his earlier actions. Per the official premise:
