After earning $700 million at the worldwide box office along with critical acclaim, Dune: Part Two was one of the biggest and most successful movies of 2024. Both Dune and Dune: Part Two were adapted from Frank Herbert’s first novel, Dune. Now, Denis Villeneuve is working on his return to Arrakis which is reported to be an adaptation of Dune: Messiah. It is officially titled Dune: Part Three, as listed in Rentrack. According to Variety, some of the sequences in Dune: Part Three will be shot with IMAX cameras. However, it will not be entirely shot with IMAX cameras, just like Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. FYI, Nolan’s film was the first and so far only film to be filmed that way. Talking to CNBC, Imax CEO Richard Gelfond was earlier asked whether Amazon MGM Studios hired Denis Villeneuve to direct their reboot of the James Bond franchise. While answering, he also opened up about the director’s plans for Dune: Part Three at Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment. He said, “From a personal point of view, I was really happy. I like him. I think he’s a genius filmmaker.” Further, he added, “He’s so creative. He’s making the next ‘Dune’ — with Imax cameras, he’s filming the whole thing. So we haven’t started talking yet, but I’m praying that that’s the case with Bond.” Dune: Part Three is set to go on floors soon, with Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya returning to reprise their roles. Along with them, Jason Momoa has also confirmed to be returning for Part Three. Momoa was a part of the cast in the first Dune but was not featured in Part Two. The much-awaited installment is expected to release in December 2026. Shortly after Dune: Part Two’s release, Denis Villeneuve sat down for a chat with The Wrap and shared that he is grateful to have worked on the Dune movies but also eager to return to Arrakis. In an interesting revelation, he also said that Dune: Part Three will not be the conclusion of a trilogy, but rather an adaptation of the second novel in a long series of books.
