Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler duke it out inside Call of Duty.

The first trailer for the upcoming prequel series has been released.

Sci-fi and fantasy epics on television have come a long way in the last several years, but you could be forgiven for finding it hard to believe that Max’s upcoming Dune prequel series could live up to the majesty of Denis Villeneuve’s massive movies. However, the Dune: Prophecy trailer, which came out on Wednesday morning, is here to prove you wrong.

A creative Destiny 2 player has expressed their appreciation for the latest Dune film with a set of custom armor inspired by House Harkonnen soldiers seen in one of the film's most iconic scenes. Theirs is part of a new wave of custom Destiny 2 costumes replicating the looks of Harkonnen soldiers and characters like the Baron, Rabban, and Feyd-Rautha.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have set Premium Digital Ownership and 4K UHD release dates for Denis Villeneuve’s .

It's official – Dune 3 is in development. Dune: Part Two has proved a huge success so far, crossing the $600 million mark at the box office and surpassing the first film's total, so it's perhaps not a huge surprise. 

Thufir Hawat played a major role in Denis Villeneuve's 2021 blockbuster hit Dune, but has since disappeared from the narrative. Recent revelations from a board game may offer insight into his fate.

In the late 90s, if you told me I would get three more Ghostbusters films, two with the original cast members, I would have shouted your name from the mountains the way Stilgar proclaims Paul Atreides as the Lisan al Gaib in Dune.

Dune: Part Twois the biggest movie of the year so far, and TikTok has latched onto every aspect — from Stilgar attributing everything as proof that Paul is the messiah to the appreciation for sandworms. The platform boasts a mix of explainers, jokes, and skits reinterpreting scenes from Dune: Part Two.But one final moment between Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides and Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen has surprisingly taken off.

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies can seem like a rebuke to Hollywood’s quip era. They are as far as you can get from the Marvel rule that no situation is so grave, no stakes so high that they can’t be punctuated by a smart, self-aware gag. These are solemn, earnest movies, modeled on classical cinematic epics like Lawrence of Arabia and intent on delivering the bizarre visions of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi books in as straight-faced a manner as possible.

Dragon's Dogma 2 publisher Capcom released the role-playing game's character creator two weeks before the full game launches and players are using it to recreate characters from the likes of Dune, Cyberpunk 2077, Game of Thrones, Elden Ring, God of War, and more.

A Dune fan has spotted a fascinating detail about the posters for both movies – and it's something that spoils a major part of the plot. Naturally, that means we'll be getting into spoilers below, so look away now if you're not up to speed on Dune: Part Two. 

The new Godzilla x Kong bundle coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone features an over-the-top execution. Earlier this week, Call of Duty detailed its Season 2 Reloaded update, highlighting what's been added to Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and Warzone, including the revamped Vanguard map Das Haus, the new Juggermosh game mode, a new Zombies story mission, and more.

Funcom, developer of the upcoming Dune: Awakening, has issued a statement regarding the role of religion in the game after fan concerns erupted on the internet this week.

Hot on the heels of yesterday's gameplay reveal, we've learned more about Funcom's upcoming MMO, Dune: Awakening, which remains shrouded in mystery. Crucially, we knew the story would take place in an alternate universe set a few years before the events of the Frank Herbert books or Dennis Villeneuve films and would ignore one of the most critical aspects of its universe, religion, for undisclosed spoiler reasons. Now you've got our attention!

Denis Villeneuve’s planned trilogy of Dune movies is unmistakably focused on telling the story of Paul Atreides, as played by Timothée Chalamet. But just because it’s Paul’s story doesn’t mean he’s the main character of all of the movies. In fact, one of the cleverest, most effective methods Villeneuve uses to show us Paul’s journey in Dune: Part Two is by subtly shifting the Freman warrior Chani (Zendaya) from her initial role as narrator and love interest into the movie’s main character. And Zendaya is one of the few actors who could actually pull that off.

Dune: Part Two is here, and as a fan of the original novels, I did my part on premiere weekend by dragging my oldest daughter to the theater to join in on the ride. And what a ride it was: Our local theater is currently showing the film in 4DX. Riding sandworms, it turns out, is cool as hell when your seat is bucking about thanks to hidden hydraulics. But the rest of the film’s 4DX integration? Not at all as enjoyable as I’d hoped. The flaws in its presentation are worth keeping in mind as you shop for tickets this weekend.

If you’re looking for all the important intel about CoD MW3’s Warhammer crossover, you’ve come to the right place!

Following the early box office success of , as well as its critically acclaim, many are wondering whether or not Dune 3 is in the pipeline.

As part of Dune: Awakening's recent showcase, developer Funcom has revealed that hydration plays a major role in the forthcoming open-world survival MMO, in which players can drink the blood of slain enemies to stay alive, in addition to other methods. Funcom has yet to confirm a release date for Dune: Awakening.

I stepped out of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two burdened by a heavy existential question: Am I the sort of person who would drink sandworm piss in exchange for supernatural foresight? Maybe you can help me decide.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are getting a slew of new operator bundles crossing over with some of the biggest entertainment franchises of the year, including Godzilla x Kong, Warhammer, and another Dune bundle. Now at the midpoint of its second season, Call of Duty has just unveiled Season 2 Reloaded, which is set to bring Vanguard's 6v6 Das Haus multiplayer map, a new Juggermosh game mode, and a lot more to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

Following the theatrical debut of last Friday, it has been confirmed that Watchmen star Tim Blake Nelson’s mystery character didn’t make it into the final cut of the sequel.

Dune: Part Two director has revealed which character he found most painful to cut out of the massive sequel.

Developer Funcom provided a new look at Dune: Awakening, an upcoming open-world survival MMO game. The new trailer and deep dive into Dune: Awakening comes just days after the opening of the Dune: Part Two film in theaters. The roughly 25-minute presentation gives fans a look at some of the core features coming to the game based on Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi novel, including base-building, combat, and traversal.

Dune: Part Two is all about the rise of Paul “Muad’dib” Atreides, but that doesn’t mean it tells his whole story. If you’ve already seen the movie, or have heard that there are another seven books in the series, you probably know that there’s a lot more story left to tell. The good news is, you won’t have to wait for director Denis Villeneuve to return to the series to continue the tale.

Poor Sting. In 1983, the frontman of The Police was at the height of his popularity. The trio’s fifth album, Synchronicity, topped the Billboard charts for 17 nonconsecutive weeks during the summer of ’83, interrupted only by Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The year prior, Sting landed a breakout acting role in the film adaptation of Brimstone and Treacle, playing a conman-pickpocket-rapist — a role that seemed destined to launch a small but respectable film career.

After the blockbuster sequel was pushed out of 2023 and into this year, Dune 2's release is almost here. Hitting cinemas on March 1, you likely don't need me to tell you that the hype for the next chapter in Denis Villeneuve's retelling of the iconic story is finally here. Less than two weeks more to wait, and whether you want to celebrate in more ways than one, or 11 more days is still too long to wait, there's a range of Dune 2 Funko Pops available now.

With his Dune movies, director Denis Villeneuve is trying to do what even Frank Herbert couldn’t: make Paul Atreides a villain

Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve has revealed why we won't see any deleted scenes from his upcoming sci-fi sequel – even though the finished movie clocks in at two hours and 46 minutes, there are over four hours of footage. 

Microsoft has unveiled a unique Xbox controller that seemingly floats in the air, together with a special-edition Series S console, both styled after Dune. The debut of this distinct duo of Xbox devices coincides with the release of a Dune-themed expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Dune: Part Two, the sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 sci-fi epic, is nearly upon us. In the lead-up to the film’s highly anticipated release on March 1, Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios announced the arrival of Paul Atreides’ Ornithopter and the desert plains of Arrakis in Microsoft Flight Simulator in a free expansion.

Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen will meet in a battle of blades in Dune: Part Two next year. But in a delightful video released Wednesday, the actors behind those characters, Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler, fought for supremacy in a match of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It’s an up-close and all-too-brief look at Chalamet’s personal gaming style and what could be Butler’s first time holding a video game controller.

The has been revealed, hinting at the longest movie in director Denis Villeneuve’s filmography so far.

Dune: Part Two might be delayed, but it's still going to be pretty long.

Gear up squad, we’re going to Arrakis. Activision has revealed skins for its operators revolving around the upcoming Dune: Part Two for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season One.

It's starting to look like Timothée Chalamet could be making an appearance in , and this upcoming role could be the strangest one he's yet taken on. The world of is complex, but the one thing that's consistent about it is the weirdness that it brings to the table. Although post-apocalyptic America isn't an unfamiliar concept, avoids standard tropes like zombies and rigid dystopic societies for a more unusual flavor. Character names like Die-Hardman immediately make it obvious how off-kilter things can be, while the nuances of figures like Higgs combine compelling characterization and memorable quirks seamlessly.

The Dune: Part Two release date has been changed yet again, but now it will arrive in theaters sooner than previously delayed.

A Lego Dune set based on the new movies is heading our way.

LEGO Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter, revealed on Tuesday, is a loving recreation of the dragonfly-esque vehicles used in Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction series as brought to life in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One and upcoming Dune: Part Two. When its 1,369 pieces are brought together into a two-and-a-half foot-long build, it features aircraft blades that flap, retract, and rotate through 180 degrees of motion, as well as movable landing gear.

October 20 was supposed to be the day Dune 2 hit cinemas. Strikes in Hollywood have prevented that from happening and we won't be getting the blockbuster sequel until 2024. While a lot of what was planned for its release can be moved, some things that have already been set in motion simply cannot be changed. Toys linked to the movie's release, for example. Pre-orders for Lego's new Ornithopter Set are now open, presumably because people were initially going to have been seeing the movie right about now.
