Dune Part Three Trailer Reveals 17 Year Time Jump and Robert Pattinson's Scytale
Denis Villeneuve debuted the first trailer for Dune: Part Three at an AMC event in Los Angeles the Monday after the Oscars, with Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor-Joy and Robert Pattinson attending in person and Timothée Chalamet appearing via video message.
The film jumps 17 years after the events of Part Two and is based on Frank Herbert's Dune: Messiah, showing Paul Atreides as Emperor waging a holy war after marrying Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh), which drives Chani (Zendaya) away.
Robert Pattinson debuts as the shape-shifting villain Scytale, shown only in a brief glimpse with blonde hair and no dialogue revealed yet.
Villeneuve said he changed his mind about taking a break from the franchise after seeing 14,000 people outside and 5,000 people inside a Part Two screening in Mexico, prompting him to feel a responsibility to finish the story.
The teaser includes a scene where Paul and Chani name their unborn children Ghanima and Leto, foreshadowing key Dune Messiah plot points, and ends with a buzzed-haircut Paul saying "I'm not afraid to die, but I must not die yet."
