Dune: Part Three unveils final trailer with first look at Paul and Chani's children from novels

With less than two months to go until Dune: Part Three arrives in cinemas, the countdown is well on truly on to our return to Arrakis – and the final trailer for the sci-fi epic has just arrived to further whet our appetites.

The new footage gives us our best look yet at the final entry in Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed trilogy, teasing all sorts of action and drama as Timothée Chalamet returns to the role of Paul Atreides.

In the foreboding trailer, we get our first look at Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke as Paul and Chani's twin children Leto II Atreides and Ghanima Atreides, while there's also much in the way of political scheming, all-out warfare and – of course – massive sandworms.

Meanwhile, we also get another look at some key cast members, including Anya Taylor-Joy as Paul's unsettling all-seeing sister Alia Atreides and Robert Pattinson as antagonist Scytale.

Also featuring are returning faces Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Charlotte Rampling as Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam and Jason Momoa as a reimagined version of Paul's old swordmaster, Duncan Idaho.

You can check it out in full below – it's certainly something!

The first trailer for the new film arrived all the way back in March, while a second was made available in July before a further 30-second teaser was released in August.

Of course, the film is based on the second novel in Frank Herbert's popular series – Dune Messiah – and it remains to be seen just how faithful it will stick to the events of that book.

Both previous films in the trilogy were nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards, and the pre-release expectation is that this final entry could also be a major player when it comes to the Oscars race.

We'll have to wait and see if it lives up to the sky-high expectations. Fingers crossed!
