We finally got word that Dune 3 will officially be titled Dune: Part Three. In addition to seeing the teens playing Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya's kids, there's another bit of brand new info on the internet: Timothée has shaved his head. It hasn't been confirmed that the buzzcut is for the third Dune movie...but like, what else would it be for?
Here's the latest news on Dune: Part Three (and Timothée Chalamet's hair).

Yes, Timothée Chalamet just debuted a brand new 'do on July 5, when he was spotted with Kylie Jenner in in Saint-Tropez, France. He wore a teal, white, and blue jersey with a baseball cap and a bandana, and under the hat, you can just barely see that his long hair is gone!
Some fans are feeling "gutted," while others are sure he'll wear a wig in Dune 3. Only time will tell...

Dune: Part 3 is coming to theaters soon, and is currently aiming for a December 2026 release, according to Variety. And some of its sequences will be shot with Imax cameras!

What is Dune: Part Three about?
We don't have official plot details about the new movie yet, but we do know director Denis Villeneuve says it “will not be the completion of a trilogy.”
“First, it’s important that people understand that for me, it was really a diptych,” he told Vanity Fair of the first two films. “It was really a pair of movies that will be the adaptation of the first book. That’s done and that’s finished. If I do a third one, which is in the writing process, it’s not like a trilogy. It’s strange to say that, but if I go back there, it’s to do something that feels different and has its own identity.”
So critics have begun expecting a tonal shift for this third movie — but considering the original cast is actually returning, I'll be interested to see how "different" the story actually is.
Where is Dune: Part Three Filming?
Filming on Dune: Part Three began July 2025 in Budapest, Hungary.
