Timothee Chalamet hits at what fans may expect from ‘Dune: Part Three’

Timothee Chalamet broke his silence about his experience on set filming the upcoming major project, Dune: Part Three, and what fans might expect from it.

Chalamet will reprise his role as Paul Atreides. In the new part he will portray an older, more burdened version of the character.

In a candid conversation with Matthew McConaughey at a Variety and CNN Town Hall event at University of Texas, the Little Women star described the new film as the most unsettling instalment so far.

"It’s the eeriest one," the Marty Supreme actor said of the film, which adapts to Frank Herbert’s Dune Messsiah. He went on to call it, "a big swing," highlighting its ambitious and bold directions.

The actor revealed that he approached the filming with unprecedented intensity, treating every scene as "sacred" because it marked the final time portraying the character.

"Everything was sacred, and it was my last time doing a ‘Dune’ film, so I really wanted to treat it as sacred," he said. "Because people can get complacent, but I was more intense on the third one."

He added, "It felt like that was the natural momentum, so I wanted to push against that as hard as I could."

Chalamet revealed that he drew inspiration from Oscar Isaac’s elevated style in the original. 

He also compared his journey to legendry performances in hits like Interstellar and The Dark Knight, noting that he aimed to "sneak in something" unique without overreaching.

Dune: Part Three is slated for release on December 18.
