Dune Part Three Trailer: What Has Been Released and What Is Next

Yes, there is a Dune Part Three trailer, and there has been one since March 17, 2026. TheWrap reported that trailer on the day it appeared, along with a release date of December 18, 2026 and IMAX theaters secured for opening weekend. A newer trailer followed, and TheWrap covered it on July 8, 2026 under a headline about Jason Momoa. So, if you are asking whether the film is still coming out, the answer is yes, and the trailers are already public.

The question of what time the Dune 3 trailer will be released therefore has a simple answer: both trailers are already out, so there is no launch time to wait for. Any further trailer would come from the studio, Warner Bros. (with Legendary). Coverage of the film's progress, including the date and cast, sits with Dune Part Three.

The film is in post production as of November 3, 2026. Variety Australia reported on July 9, 2025 that the film's title was Dune: Part Three, after earlier reports that it would be called Dune Messiah, and that filming was about to begin.

The cast reported around the Dune: Part Three trailers is largely the returning ensemble. TheWrap's March 2026 report lists Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Zendaya as Chani, Javier Bardem as Stilgar and Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica. It also lists Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides and Robert Pattinson as Scytale. The July 2026 report adds Jason Momoa as Hayt, along with Isaach De Bankolé, Charlotte Rampling and Josh Brolin. Each of these credits is reported, not announced in a studio cast list, so treat them as press reports. The full lineup is tracked under Dune cast.

Denis Villeneuve is reported as director, which keeps one filmmaker across the whole Villeneuve run: Dune (2021), Dune: Part Two (2024) and now Part Three.

In my opinion, the most telling difference is timing: the first Part Three trailer arrived roughly nine months before the film opens, a far longer runway than the earlier Villeneuve releases had to work with. Dune (2021) held its world premiere on September 3, 2021 at the Venice Film Festival, according to the festival, and reached US theaters on October 22, 2021, so the film itself was in front of audiences about seven weeks before opening. Dune: Part Two (2024) had its London premiere on February 15, 2024, as reported by Malay Mail, two weeks before its March 1 opening.

The release history of Part Two explains why a long lead matters. TheWrap reported that it had been set for November 3, 2023, was delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strike, and then shifted from March 15 to March 1, 2024. Part Three has had no reported move, and a trailer cycle that began in March 2026 suggests, perhaps, a studio confident in its date.

The casting coverage also shows how the sequel is being sold. Jason Momoa headlines the July 2026 report as Hayt, yet he played Duncan Idaho in Dune (2021), so the campaign leans on a familiar face in a new role. Florence Pugh, billed seventh as Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Two, now appears in the lead cast lists for Part Three. That being said, none of these credits has been confirmed in a studio cast announcement, so the speculation about how the roles fit together should stay as speculation.

Dune: Part Three is still dated for December 18, 2026 in the US, and no source I have found reports a move. TheWrap's July 8 coverage and The A.V. Club both give that date. The A.V. Club adds that Avengers: Doomsday opens the same day, and that Dune staked out the date first. A shared opening weekend is a scheduling story, in the way two big dinners booked for one Saturday are a scheduling story, and no move has been reported for either title. No UK or Australian date has been reported yet.

The two earlier Villeneuve films are the natural comparison for the Part Three campaign. The Dune movies in order guide shows how each film connects, and the films themselves are covered under Dune 2021 and Dune Part Two.

David Lynch's Dune (1984), released on December 14, 1984, is a separate adaptation of the same book with a different cast, led by Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides. It does not belong to the Villeneuve story, so any trailer you find for Dune (1984) is for a different film, and Dune 1984 covers it on its own terms. If you want to watch any of these films, where to watch Dune lists the streaming options, and the Dune movies hub gives the franchise overview.
