As buzz grows following the release of Dune: Part Two on Max streaming, anticipation for Dune 3 reaches a fever pitch. Fans can rest assured that director Denis Villeneuve is already devotedly penning the screenplay for the third installment, which will adapt the second book of the series, Dune: Messiah.
During a conversation with Vanity Fair, Villeneuve expressed both his enthusiasm and caution, stating, “The screenplay’s in progress. I’m very happy where it’s going, but it’s not finished, and I don’t know how healthy it’ll be to go straight to ‘Messiah’ right away. It would be healthy to do something in between.”
His dedication towards surpassing the quality of Part Two is clear when he says, “I want to make sure that if we go back there a third time that it’ll be worth it, and that it would make something even better than Part Two.”
An announcement on April 4 confirmed the active development of the third film.
