WithDune: Part Twoearlier this year, Villeneuve completed his adaptation of Frank Herberts original opus.
Villeneuve has lined up his next project at Warner Bros.with a release date of December 18, 2026.
But that means that Villeneuve could face the same endless questioning Nolan has faced since endingThe Dark Knighttrilogy.
Children of Dunewas previously adapted into a TV miniseries in 2003.
Herbert and Anderson then continued the mainline series withHunters of DuneandSandworms of Dune.
But Villeneuve has no interest in directing moreDunemovies beyond the third one.
If he adaptsDune Messiahfaithfully, then itll set up a bunch ofDunesequels that he doesnt want to make.
This isthe same problem that Nolan faced when he madeThe Dark Knighttrilogy.
And if it never happens, it could hurt the perception of the trilogy as a complete work.
Dune: Part Three continues the epic saga, adapting Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah. It follows Paul Atreides as he navigates political intrigue and prophecy, consolidating power in a universe shaped by spice, religion, and betrayal. This entry deepens the exploration of power dynamics and the complexities of leadership in a vast interstellar empire.
