Dune 3‘s Timothée Chalamet recently described a co-star’s acting as “actually terrifying.” The trailer for the third installment was recently released, featuring the actress’s cameo from Part 2.
Which performance in Dune 3 will blow people’s minds according to Timothée Chalamet?
The promotions for Dune: Part Three are already underway ahead of its theatrical release later this year. On July 8, Chalamet attended the Global IMAX Fan Event in Los Angeles. During an interview there, the actor praised Anya Taylor-Joy‘s performance in the upcoming film.
He stated, “Anya is something special in this movie,” adding that he “didn’t really get to work with her on the second one,” where the actress had a brief cameo.
He also recalled the first day of the actress on set, saying, “The first day Anya stepped on set, just visually, it was breathtaking. She is unbelievable in this movie. That’s not media hyperbole. She’s actually terrifying and amazing.” He also acknowledged Denis Villeneuve’s direction and Linus Sandgren’s cinematography in shaping the actress’s performance. (via People)
Taylor-Joy’s role in Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 3 will be significant. She plays Alia Atreides, Paul’s sister, who also resides on the desert planet Arrakis. In a Deadline interview, she discussed her character, stating, “Alia has a very intense blessing/curse situation.”
She further added, “The one thing that she really feels most strongly about is her love and devotion to her brother because that is the only person who’s ever made her feel like she makes sense. He’s understood her from before she was even born.”
Villeneuve revealed that the action will take place 17 years after the events of Dune: Part Two. According to him, the movie “will be very different, with a different tone, with a different rhythm, with a different pace.”
Robert Pattinson will also make his debut in a major role as Scytale. The lead actor of Dune also praised him alongside Taylor-Joy, stating, “I worked with Rob before. I knew how good he was.”
Dune: Part 3 is set to be released on December 18, 2026.
