Dune: Part Two Set Photo Previews Timothée Chalamet’s Return

Timothée Chalamet is officially back on Arrakis, sharing a new photograph of himself on the set of Dune: Part Two as production on the film continues.

In a recent photo on his official Instagram, Chalamet shared a look at himself staring out at the desert, wearing a black hooded long coat that has a skeletal outline on the back of it. Production on the film began earlier this year, with the crew having already wrapped in Budapest, Hungary, and Italy. Now, filming is set to begin in the United Arab Emirates, which is likely where Chalamet is in his photo.

Check out the new Dune: Part Two photograph below:

“This follow-up film will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family,” reads the synopsis. “Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”

Dune: Part Two is once again being directed by Villeneuve. The returning cast includes Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Stephen McKinley Henderson. Joining them is Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha, Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot, and Souheila Yacoub as Shishakli.

Following its release, Dune went on to garner critical acclaim from fans and critics alike. Earlier this year, it also racked up a whopping 10 Academy Award nominations. It won six of them, including Best Original Score, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Visual Effects.

With the release date change, it will no longer premiere against The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and If starring John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds.
