Timothée Chalamet has teased the arc of his character Paul Atreides in Dune: Part Two, saying it's a "cautionary tale" – which, hopefully, he can explore further if a third movie is made, based on the novel Dune Messiah.
"All of us should be so lucky, not like Paul who lives a hard life, but in our own lives to evolve and live many chapters but as the same person. So this is very much Paul Atreides, but not the boyish figure we saw at the beginning of the first one," Chalamet tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Dune 2 on the cover. "This is a young man stepping into his role amongst the Fremen people and then beyond that – stepping into a leadership role that he’s not necessarily keen on but called to and steps into."
