Timothee Chalamet Drops ‘Dune 3’ First-Look, Character Poster After Oscars 2026 Loss, ‘Comeback Era’

Timothee Chalamet is keeping himself busy after his recent loss at the Oscars 2026. For those unaware, Timothée, for his performance in Marty Supreme, was nominated for the Best Actor category and was one of the favourites to win, but ended up losing to Michael B. Jordan for his role in Sinners. Instead of feeling disheartened over the loss, Timothée is reminding his fans that there is still plenty to look forward to this year. Just a while back, the actor dropped the first look and character poster for the much-anticipated film, Dune: Part 3 and revealed that the trailer will drop tomorrow, on March 17, 2026.  

Timothée Chalamet reveals the first look at himself as ‘Paul Atreides’ from Dune: Part 3 

On March 16, Timothée Chalamet, who plays ‘Paul Atreides’ in the Dune movies, dropped the first look of his character from the film’s third instalment on his Instagram Stories. In the Dune: Part 3 first-look photo, we can see a close-up of Timothée as ‘Paul Atreides’ with the main focus on his eyes, as he wears a Fremen stillsuit. Compared to the first two Dune movies, many might note that Timothée’s character this time around appears rather different, especially with the visible wrinkles and bruising which can be seen on his face. One thing that is clear from the first look is that Dune: Part 3 will showcase a much grittier, almost worn-out version of the warrior prince, not the one shown at the end of the previous film.  

Timothée Chalamet reveals Dune: Part 3 trailer will be out tomorrow  

Just two hours after Timothée Chalamet dropped the first look from Dune: Part 3, he shocked fans once again by revealing the character poster with the caption, “DUN3 trailer tomorrow.” This means that, contrary to earlier speculation that the trailer would release later this week, the Dune: Part 3 trailer will drop on March 17, 2026. No sooner did Timothée reveal this than fans took to his comment section to express their excitement. One social media user wrote, “Oh we are so back goat Chalamet.” Another wrote, “Most anticipated movie of the lifetime.” A third fan penned, “Timothée about to have the greatest villain comeback era.”  

Well, the fact that Timothée revealed the first look, character poster, and announced that the Dune: Part 3 trailer will be out tomorrow, right after he lost in the Best Actor category at the Oscars 2026, did not go unnoticed by fans. One user who caught on wrote, “Oh, dropping this right after the Oscars…this is why you are the goat.” Another penned, “He said idgaf about the Oscars, I have a franchise to finish.”  

Who are the new and returning cast of Dune: Part 3? 

Dune: Part 3 is set to bring back the majority of the key players from the previous two instalments. Timothée Chalamet returns as ‘Paul Atreides’, Rebecca Ferguson as ‘Lady Jessica’, Zendaya as ‘Chani’, Josh Brolin as ‘Gurney Halleck’ and Jason Momoa as ‘Duncan Idaho’. In the new and expanded roles, viewers will find Austin Butler as ‘Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen’, Léa Seydoux as ‘Lady’ Margot’ of the Bene Gesserit, Florence Pugh as ‘Princess Irulan’, Anya-Taylor Joy as the grown-up ‘Alia’, and Robert Pattinson as the villain, ‘Scytale.’
