Legendary has now officially given Denis Villeneuve the wings to fly with Part Three.
According to an announcement about Denis Villeneuve’s next project, it was said that he will be making Nuclear War: A Scenario after adapting Dune Messiah aka Dune: Part Three.
Duncan Idaho, played by Jason Momoa, returns to Dune for Messiah. He has a massive part to play in Dune Messiah aka Dune: Part Three as per the source text.
Dune: Part Two ended with the world accepting Paul Atreides as their Lisan al Gaib after he called for a Holy War and defeated the Emperor.
Messiah is mainly about the rise of a hero and watching him turn into a villain in his own story. The movie will involve a conspiracy to kill Paul.
The book ends with Paul turning blind and walking into the desert in oblivion. Chani dies during childbirth and gives birth to twins. The children are left with Irulan and Duncan Idaho by Paul.
We shouldn’t expect the film before late 2026 or 2027 at least, if we go by Denis' past comments.
