Fan CastingDUNE: PART THREE: MESSIAH (2027)

It has been twelve years since Paul Atreides, known as Muad'Dib, claimed the throne and reshaped the galaxy through his rule. Worshipped by billions, Paul is seen as the Messiah, a figure who brought peace and purpose to a universe plagued by feudal infighting. But beneath this gilded exterior, Paul grapples with the devastating cost of his vision, as his empire wages a holy war in his name, claiming billions of lives. As Paul faces threats from every side, including the Bene Gesserit, the Spacing Guild, and the remnants of House Corrino, he must confront an inevitable betrayal that could destroy everything he has built. His vision clouds, and he is haunted by glimpses of futures he cannot fully control. Struggling with the physical and psychological toll of his role, Paul finds solace only in his sister, Alia, and his love for Chani, though even they cannot alleviate the crushing weight of destiny. When a dangerous plot emerges within the Imperial court—led by the conspiratorial Princess Irulan and a newly introduced character, a face dancer named Scytale—Paul faces his greatest test yet. To preserve his family and the legacy of Arrakis, he must sacrifice all that he holds dear, ultimately blinding himself in a desperate bid to protect his vision from further manipulation.
