Timothée Chalamet Reveals Gritty First Official Look At Paul Atreides’ Dune 3 Return

Timothée Chalamet‘s Paul Atreides is officially back, and he’s got a gritty new look for Dune: Part Three.

Ahead of the long-awaited film’s release in December 2026, Chalamet shared via Instagram stories a first look at Paul Atreides in the upcoming Dune 3. With his goggles up and mask on, a blue-eyed Paul looks sternly into the camera. Check out the new image below:

The first look at Paul’s return also gives a glimpse at his changing appearance as described in Frank Herbert‘s Dune books. In addition to taking on the physical toll of his prescience and powers, Paul living in the desert for so long gives him a “leathery” look to his skin.
