While it was expected thatDune: Part Threewould be titledDune: Messiahand thus match the name of Frank Herbert’s second novel (the first novel was split into two for the live-action adaptations), it has now been confirmed that the sequel will instead follow the trend of the second movie and add a “Part Three” instead. Along with the title change, it has also been revealed that director Denis Villeneuve will once again make good use of IMAX cameras, filming certain sequences for the bigger screen.

Chalamet has seemingly shaved his head for his next trip to Arrakis, with the acclaimed actor seen hiding a harsh buzz cut under a hat in new images. For those who know what happens to Paul in the next chapter of theDuneseries, the actor undergoing some changes should come as little surprise.
