Dune 3 Might Be Happening Sooner Than Expected, And I Think It’s The Right Move



As we enter the latter half of the year, Dune: Part Two still ranks as one of the biggest successes on the 2024 movies schedule. Its $711+ million worldwide haul makes it the second highest-grossing movie of the year (trailing only behind Inside Out 2), and the second half of this adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel received critical acclaim, including our own Eric Eisenberg giving it a perfect score in CinemaBlend Dune: Part Two review. So the chances of Dune Messiah being adapted look better than ever, and some information has come in indicating that Dune 3 may be happening sooner than expected, which I think is the right move.

Let’s get the official update out of the way first. In addition to dating the third Godzilla/Kong movie, i.e. the next theatrical installment in the MonsterVerse franchise, for March 26, 2027, Warner Bros. Pictures has also scheduled what’s being called a “Denis Villeneuve Event Film” for December 18, 2026. That’s the same day as Star Wars’ Rey movie arrives, which sees Daisy Ridley’s character forming a new Jedi Order 15 years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. So right off the bat, moviegoers are in for one hell of an opening weekend battle ahead of Christmas 2026.
