Los Angeles, March 17

Movie buffs who were waiting for an update on Dune: Part Three have finally got a fresh look at the film.

After actor Timothee Chalamet shared the first look poster from the movie, the official Instagram page of the Dune franchise unveiled several more posters from the upcoming film on Monday.

One of the posters shows Chalamet as Paul Atreides. The close-up image focuses on his eyes as he wears a Fremen stillsuit. His look in the new film appears slightly different, with wrinkles around his eyes and red scars on his face.

The newly released images also show other actors who will appear in the film. For the first time, Robert Pattinson can be seen as the villain Scytale. The pictures also include Zendaya as Chani, Jason Momoa as Hayt, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Florence Pugh as Irulan, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides and Isaach De Bankole as Farok.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this comes just just days before the trailer of the film is expected to release later this week. Reports suggest that the trailer may appear along with the film Project Hail Mary. The film is once again directed by Denis Villeneuve.

The movie will also bring back several actors from the previous instalments including Zendaya, Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Pugh and Taylor-Joy. Momoa also returns to the series after not appearing in the second film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the earlier two Dune films were a major success at the box office, earning around $1.1 billion worldwide. Dune: Part Three is set to release in theatres on December 18, 2026.

Robert Pattinson as Scytale is the casting I didn't know I needed! The posters look stunning. Villeneuve has created such a visually rich universe. Hoping the story in Part Three lives up to the epic scale.

So excited! But honestly, the release date is a killer. 2026? We have to wait almost three years? I wish they'd speed up the process a bit. The posters are fire though, especially Zendaya as Chani.

As a huge fan of the books, I'm cautiously optimistic. The films have been brilliant so far, but Part Three covers very complex material. Hope they do justice to Alia's character arc. Anya Taylor-Joy is a perfect choice.

The production value is always top-notch. $1.1 billion for the first two is no joke. It's great to see a sci-fi epic getting this level of respect and budget. Jason Momoa returning is the cherry on top!

The first look is giving me goosebumps! The attention to detail in the stillsuit and the emotions in Chalamet's eyes... simply wow. December 2026 is a date marked on my calendar. Hope it releases in IMAX here in India on day one!
