“Do not fear the end”: final trailer for the third “Dune” shows Paul and Chani’s grown-up children

The conclusion of Villeneuve’s trilogy may cover events from two Frank Herbert novels at once.

Warner Bros. has released the final trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three”. The clip opens with Paul using the Voice on Princess Irulan and learning of Chani’s involvement in a conspiracy against him. Over the 19 years following the events of the second film, the Emperor has conquered thousands of worlds and now admits that he has become the oppressor his beloved swore to fight. Toward the end of the trailer, Paul and Chani’s grown-up children are revealed — twins Leto II and Ghanima.

The Atreides heirs are played by Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, son of Jason Momoa, and Ida Brooke from the series “Silo”. Their age supports long-standing speculation that the film will not be limited to adapting “Dune Messiah”, but will also touch upon the events of Frank Herbert’s next novel, “Children of Dune”. In “Messiah”, the twins are only just born, whereas in the trailer they are already visibly grown. However, it is still unknown how Villeneuve handled the source material and what role Paul’s children will play in the story.

Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Jason Momoa, and Anya Taylor-Joy have reprised their roles. Robert Pattinson has joined the cast as Scytale.

The international theatrical release of “Dune: Part Three” will begin on December 16, 2026. In the US, the film will debut on December 18, simultaneously with “Avengers: Doomsday”.
