From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes Dune: Part Three, bringing Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s epic trilogy to a breathtaking conclusion.
Dune: Part Three is set nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seized control of the Imperium. Now a ruthless Emperor, Paul must face the consequences of his reign as old allies return, terrifying new threats emerge, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Haunted by visions of Imperial collapse and the reappearance of his long-lost love, Paul is drawn into a sweeping conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of its unfolding mystery. As rebellion brews and enemies close in, Paul must confront the true cost of power and the fate of those he loves the most.

The film stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach de Bankolé, with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling, with Anya Taylor-Joy, and Robert Pattinson, and Oscar winner Javier Bardem.
Zendaya has now proven she’s Hollywood’s ultimate two-screen star.
She has received six total Emmy nominations. Today she landed her third lead acting nomination for the third and final season of Euphoria. She famously won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series twice (in 2020 and 2022), setting records as the youngest winner in the category’s history and the first Black woman to win it twice. Zendaya can also be seen next weekend in THE ODYSSEY followed by SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY at the end of the month.
Will the actress see an Oscar nomination for DUNE: PART THREE? I wouldn’t bet against it.
