Dune: Part Three will feature a "different" version of Paul Atreides, according to Timothée Chalamet, as the story is set 15-20 years after the events of the previous movie. Speaking exclusively to GamesRadar+ during the promotion of his new movie Marty Supreme, the actor revealed some details about the upcoming third movie in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi saga.
"Without giving too much away about Dune: Part Three, but I am playing older. And also someone who's been impacted by years of leadership and carries that weight. It's different," he explained.
When asked about how that will impact the tone of the film, he added: "I don't want to say too much. But what I will say is Denis' been so incredibly spot on about realizing the challenge. I mean, a lot of the creative conversations Denis and I had – which are really his creative corner, and worldview and script development that I really have little to do with – were well aware of the challenges of making a third film.
Chalamet also told us why his roles in Marty Supreme and Dune 3 are "vastly different", and how that helped him take on the challenges of filming the projects back to back. "Had the roles been similar, it might have been more complicated. I’d have thought, ‘Oh, man… How do I not let these roles bleed into each other?’"
"They are such different roles and the tones of the film couldn’t be more different," he continued. "A high-wire, Safdie brother, New York, 1950s period piece about a borderline delusional, ambitious character in contrast to a Denis Villeneuve sci-fi epic space opera."
