Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya star in 'Dune: Part Three' official teaser trailer

WATCH: Timothee Chalamet and Florence Pugh talk 'Dune: Part Two'

It's time to go back to Arrakis.

Warner Bros. Pictures has shared the official teaser trailer for "Dune: Part Three," starring Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides and Zendaya as Chani.

Denis Villeneuve directed and wrote the script alongside Brian K. Vaughan for the third and final film in his "Dune" trilogy, which is based on Frank Herbert's novel "Dune Messiah."

The trailer, released Tuesday, opens with Paul holding Chani in his arms. The scene takes place many years after the events of "Dune: Part Two," and Chani is pregnant with Paul's child. They discuss what to name the baby.

If it's a boy, "I would name him Leto, so he would have the wisdom of his grandfather," Chani says, a reference to the late Duke Leto Atreides, Paul's father.

The trailer also shows footage of an ongoing war, including a battle scene where we see our first appearance of Robert Pattinson's villain Scytale, sporting a platinum blond buzz-cut with matching eyebrows.

"The more I fight, the more our enemies fight back. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family. How did father do it?" Paul asks his mother Lady Jessica, played once again by Rebecca Ferguson.

"Your father never started a war," she tells him.

Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, and Isaach De Bankolé also star in the film, along with Charlotte Rampling, Anya Taylor-Joy and Javier Bardem.

The film also stars newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke.

"Dune: Part Three" will arrive in theaters Dec. 18.
