Dune Cast Comes Together in Budapest
- 30 Jul 2025 6:37 AM
Taylor-Joy made her debut in Dune: Part Two as Alia Atreides, the enigmatic younger sister of Paul Atreides, portrayed by Chalamet. Alia is considered one of the most mysterious and complex figures in the Dune universe, and her role is expected to become even more significant in the upcoming chapter.
While Chalamet has maintained a relatively low profile during filming, Zendaya has been seen enjoying her time in Budapest — frequenting restaurants, cafés, and even the historic Great Market Hall. Taylor-Joy was also spotted sharing lunch with Zendaya, adding to the excitement surrounding the returning cast.
The story of Dune: Part Three is based on Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah, which explores the aftermath of Paul Atreides’ rise to power. Once again, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have chosen Budapest as a key filming location, continuing the tradition established in the first two films.
Speculation is building about the arrival of other cast members, including Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, and possibly Robert Pattinson, who is rumoured to play a pivotal role in the final chapter.
Although an official release date has not been announced, if production stays on schedule, Dune: Part Three could reach cinemas in 2026.
