Legendary Entertainment has unveiled the official teaser trailer of "Dune: Part Three". giving film fans their long-awaited first glimpse of the final instalment of Director Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy, which is set to star Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach De Bankolé, Charlotte Rampling, Anya Taylor-Joy, Robert Pattinson and Javier Bardem.

The teaser opens with sweeping scenes of Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Desert - a location that doubles as the planet Arrakis and showcases the emirate’s extensive involvement in the award-winning franchise.

"Dune: Part Three", which began production in July 2025, follows previous shoots in the Liwa Desert for "Dune" (2021) and "Dune: Part Two" (2024).

The striking opening sequence showcases the emirate’s natural terrain and towering sand dunes, which have become synonymous with the world of Arrakis.

Accompanying the official teaser, character-focused posters for the sci-fi epic have also been unveiled on official social media channels featuring some of the film’s confirmed cast.

Support for "Dune: Part Three" was provided by the Creative Media Authority Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, with Image Nation Abu Dhabi serving as a production partner and Epic Films as the local production service provider.

The film also benefited from the emirate’s cashback rebate, which has attracted more than 180 major productions to Abu Dhabi.

Written by Villeneuve and Brian K. Vaughan, "Dune: Part Three" is based on the novel "Dune Messiah" by Frank Herbert and will be distributed by Warner Bros. around the world in mid-December 2026.
