Dune: Part Three final trailer arrives ahead of 16 December release – The final trailer for Dune: Part Three has arrived, setting up the last chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s film trilogy before it opens in Australian cinemas and IMAX on Wednesday 16 December 2026.
The Australian release date places local audiences among the first to see the conclusion. The story moves nearly two decades beyond Paul Atreides’ rise to power, shifting the focus from his conquest of the Imperium to the consequences of ruling it.
Watch the Dune: Part Three final trailer
Universal Pictures Australia has released the final trailer on behalf of Warner Bros. Pictures. Watch it below.
Paul faces the cost of power
Paul is now a ruthless emperor. Old allies are returning, new threats are emerging and rebellion is building against his reign. Visions of an Imperial collapse and the reappearance of a long-lost love draw him into a conspiracy with Chani at its centre.
The film asks what Paul is prepared to sacrifice as his enemies close in. That gives Villeneuve’s trilogy a different dramatic centre from the earlier films: the choices of a ruler who has already achieved the power he once sought.
Returning cast and new faces
Timothée Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides alongside Zendaya as Chani. The ensemble also includes Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach de Bankolé, Charlotte Rampling, Anya Taylor-Joy, Robert Pattinson and Javier Bardem.
Villeneuve directs from a screenplay he wrote with Brian K. Vaughan, drawing on Frank Herbert’s novels. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are behind the film, with Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Villeneuve, Tanya Lapointe and Joe Caracciolo producing.
Joshua Grode, Thomas Tull, Herbert W. Gains, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Kim Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Richard P. Rubinstein, John Harrison and Jessica Derhammer serve as executive producers.
The team behind the trilogy finale
The creative team includes cinematographer Linus Sandgren, production designer Patrice Vermette, editor Joe Walker, costume designer Jacqueline West, casting director Francine Maisler and composer Hans Zimmer. Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing the film worldwide, with Legendary East handling China.
Dune: Part Three opens only in Australian cinemas and IMAX on Wednesday 16 December 2026.
