Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides in Dune Part Two

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Dune: Part Two gets a new Oppenheimer-style ending in which Paul Atreides becomes emperor. Picking up after the cliffhanger ending of his 2021 adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune, Denis Villeneuve's hit sequel continues the story of Timothée Chalamet's Paul as he faces off against the Harkonnens on Arrakis.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer memorably ends with Cillian Murphy's titular lead character envisioning a future in which his creation is used to destroy the world, and this recut of the Dune: Part Two ending features Paul also having a vision, though his is of him and Chani seemingly conquering the universe. The new version of the ending features Ludwig Göransson's score for Nolan's film playing over the top, adding to the epic tone.

Dune: Part Three has now been confirmed, meaning Paul's story will eventually continue. Villeneuve's first two movies adapt Herbert's first book in the series, but the third installment would seemingly be adapting the events of the author's follow-up novel, Dune: Messiah. Without delving too far into spoilers from the source material, this book explores the dangers of messiah figures and the universe-altering consequences of Paul's bloody Holy War.
