The ‘Dune: Part Three’ Trailer Makes It Look More Awesome Than the Last

Remember watching Dune: Part One and thinking, “Well, it can’t get bigger or better than that”? Then Dune: Part Two came out, and we were all like, “Oh, wow. That actually is bigger and better.” Well, now the first trailer for Dune: Part Three is here, and it seems that maybe, just maybe, director Denis Villeneuve has done it again. Set 17 years after the events of the previous film, Dune: Part Three is an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sequel to Dune, Dune: Messiah. It sees Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) dealing with the consequences of his newfound powers as Emperor, as well as the burdens of being a father. And, in this trailer, we get to see how Paul’s personal life and political ambitions are about to clash not just on the planet Arrakis but on other planets too. As we said, this looks even more awesome than Part Two, in all senses of the word. So as you can see, Dune: Part Three is bringing back seemingly everyone that’s still around, and even a few people who weren’t. There’s Zendaya as Chani, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, and even Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho. Duncan was kille
