0:00What's up? I'm Cory with the story, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. Fans of the Dune series got a big treat this week with the trailer drop for Dune Part 3. On March 16 in Los Angeles, stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson joined director Dennis Villeneuve to unveil the preview for the sci-fi epic, hitting theaters, December 18. Pattinson joins as a new character, Cytale, and it turns out Zendaya might have pulled some strings to get him on board. Here this week at the event, Pattinson shared how he became a huge fan of the first two Dune films, watching them multiple times in theaters. While chatting with Zendaya on the set of their upcoming movie The Drama, he straight up asked if she could help him join a Dune project. She joked that she knew a guy, and months later he got the unexpected call. The cast and crew raved about working together. Pattinson called the lineup incredible, and praised Villeneuve as a master filmmaker, especially after seeing the massive scale on set.

1:00Returning stars include Timothy Chalamet as Paula Trades, Zendaya as Chani, plus Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pew, Anya Taylor, Joy, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and even Jason Mamoa. Pattinson teased his mysterious role without spoilers, noting Cytale is an unusual character from the novel whose loyalties are hard to pin down. Not. He's a villain, maybe even a hero. His platinum blonde look for the part is pretty extraordinary, he added. This wraps up Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, co-written with Brian K. Vaughan. Meanwhile, Pattinson and Zendaya team up in three films this year, The Drama on April 3rd, Dune Part 3 in December, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey on July 17th.
