About Dune 3 Trailer
The story of Paul continues with his rise to power as witnessed in the Part Two climax. Inspired by Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, Dune 3 is set 17 years after the last film and delves deeper into the consequences of Paul's claim to the throne as emperor. However, what the future holds is no longer clear from his perspective.
Paul has a new adversary in the mix, as Robert Pattinson's Scytale joins the cast. He is a shapeshifter whose aim is to remove Paul from the reins of power.
The trailer also highlights some key plot points, such as Zendaya as Fremen warrior Chani, and Princess Irulan, played by Florence Pugh, who is married to Paul. There's also the warrior Duncan Idaho, who lost his life defending Paul and his mother; Rebecca Ferguson returns in that role.
