Timothée Chalamet Shares First Look of Dune: Part Three

Timmy’s 2026 Oscars loss is now Paul Atreides’s villain origin story. Timothée Chalamet is looking onward and upwards after a disappointing Sunday night, posting a first-look image of Dune: Part Three, where Paul is looking a little less Anakin Skywalker and a little more Darth Vader. The image on Instagram Stories shows Chalamet staring down the camera Kubrick-style. His eyes are spice-spiked blue, and his skin is looking rough. Acccording to The Hollywood Reporter, the still presages the first trailer for Dune 3, presumably proceeding Project Hail Mary.

This final Dune film from Denis Villeneuve is set to explore the darker, edgier Dune: Messiah. The book tracks Paul once he is emperor at the center of an intergalactic holy war. He kind of becomes the villain, making Dune: Messiah a semi-ironic title. Other things to look forward to in Dune: Part Three are expanded parts for Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy. We may also get to see the return of Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho. Or at least one Duncan Idaho. The guy gets cloned a lot. Robert Pattinson has joined the cast, but his role has not yet been disclosed. Dune: Part 3 will come to theaters December 18.
