In an exciting battle of virtual warfare, Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler faced off in a match of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Released on Wednesday, a delightful video showcased the actors behind the upcoming Dune: Part Two movie, engaging in a thrilling game of guns and knives. As fans eagerly await the saga's continuation, Chalamet's prowess in gaming was on full display, while Butler, seemingly unfamiliar with video game controllers, struggled to keep up.

Chalamet, known for his lanky charm and previous experience in Xbox 360 controller modification during his teenage years, unmistakably had the upper hand. The video offered glimpses of Chalamet's gaming style, as he jubilantly celebrated his virtual kills, exuding an infectious adrenaline-fueled energy. Meanwhile, Butler, maintaining his composure with an air of coolness reminiscent of Elvis Presley, attempted to match Chalamet's swift maneuvers but fell short.

Set on the map Rust, the Activision-edited footage displayed diplomacy towards both actors, although Chalamet ultimately emerged victorious in the match. Demonstrating his sportsmanship, he graciously extended a few GGs (Good Game) to Butler, confirming his status as a dedicated gamer. Fans eagerly await the release of additional behind-the-scenes footage showcasing Chalamet's playful domination over Butler in Call of Duty, urging Activision to "release the footage of Timothée teabagging Austin."

While the video ostensibly aims to promote the arrival of Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen characters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone, it has generated substantial excitement within the gaming community. Players can now take on the roles of Maud'dib and House Harkonnen, embracing the Dune universe in two exclusive bundles. The Paul Atreides bundle is already available, while the Feyd-Rautha bundle will be dropping on December 16th.

Dune: Part Two, originally slated for a fall release, has unfortunately been delayed to March 1, 2024. However, fans can catch Chalamet in the highly anticipated film Wonka, premiering on December 15th, while Butler's next project, titled The Bikeriders, is set to hit theaters in June of next year. In the meantime, viewers can satiate their Dune fix by streaming the first part of Denis Villenueve's epic sci-fi masterpiece on Netflix or HBO Max.

The clash between Chalamet and Butler in the digital realm may have provided a brief escape from their characters' impending battle in Dune: Part Two, but it certainly heated up the anticipation for their on-screen encounter. Gamers and movie enthusiasts alike eagerly await the release of both the Dune sequel and the full showdown between Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, gracing both the gaming realm and the silver screen.
