Arriving in the aftermath of the pandemic, Dune became one of the films that drew audiences back into cinemas and proved the big screen still had something to offer. Hans Zimmer’s thunderous score and Denis Villeneuve’s vision played important roles, but it was the cast that truly set the franchise in place, with Timothée Chalamet’s haunting recitation of the Litany Against Fear, “I will face my fear,” becoming one of its defining moments.

Now, as the saga prepares to release its final chapter, here is the cast of Dune: Part Three.

Dune has always been a franchise that has had some of the most notable names in Hollywood under one blanket in a desert, and Part Three further cements this case.

Timothée Chalamet: Returning as Paul Atreides, now a ruthless emperor, Chalamet won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture- Musical or Comedy for Marty Supreme and was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for the same film.

Zendaya: Back as Chani, Paul’s Fremen love and the heart of the film’s unfolding conspiracy. She returns as a two-time Emmy winner for Euphoria.

Rebecca Ferguson: Reprising Lady Jessica, Paul’s Bene Gesserit mother, Ferguson won a Critics’ Choice Super Award and a Saturn Award for the role in Dune.

Florence Pugh: Returning as Princess Irulan, the royal Paul married to claim the throne.

Javier Bardem: Back as Stilgar, the Fremen leader.

Josh Brolin: Returns as Gurney Halleck. However, if the book is anything to go by, Brolin remains a minor character in the third instalment of Dune.

Jason Momoa: Momoa will be playing Duncan Idaho, who died in the first film, but has been cloned and brought back by Scytale.

Anya Taylor-Joy: Appearing as Alia Atreides, Paul’s sister.

Robert Pattinson: Joining the franchise as the antagonist Scytale.

Isaach De Bankolé: Playing Farok, a Fremen commando.

“Not the Moral of the Story” – Anya Taylor-Joy Warns ‘Dune: Part 3’ Will Prove Paul Atreides Was Never the Hero

While almost every member of the cast has a strong filmography speaking for them, the movie has a story that will test every bit of that talent, one where the real battle is no longer for the throne but for what comes after it.

Dune: Part Three is based on Frank Herbert’s 1969 novel Dune Messiah, the sequel to the book that inspired the first two films, and it closes out Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy. The story is set nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seized control of the Imperium, with the hero of the earlier films now an emperor forced to reckon with what his rule has cost.

Old allies return, new threats emerge, and Paul is drawn into a sweeping conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of its unfolding mystery. The film turns away from the rise of a chosen one and asks what happens after power has been won.
