Dune Part 3 - What to Expect From the Next Sequel

Dune: Part 2 has finally hit theaters. While the sequel wraps up director Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of the original Frank Herbert novel, it’s looking more and more likely that it won’t be the last movie in this series. For one thing, Villeneuve has been hard at work writing a screenplay based on the sequel book Dune Messiah. And for another, Dune: Part 2 just had the best box office opening since 2023’s Barbie, suggesting Warner Bros. will want to keep mining that precious, precious spice.

We’ve already broken down the ending of Dune: Part 2 and where it leaves characters like Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides and Zendaya’s Chani. But what happens next? What is Dune Messiah about, and why is it such an essential addition to Paul’s story? Why does it appear as though Villeneuve isn’t planning a straightforward adaptation of Messiah? We’re going to take a closer look at what happens next in the series. We’ll start out with the basics of Dune Messiah before getting into full plot spoilers at the end. Just beware of major spoilers for Dune: Part 2 and the book Dune Messiah ahead!

Dune: Part 2 also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux and Souheila Yacoub. The film is in theaters now.

If they adapt the entire series, Jason Momoa is going to be set for life.

[Kevin-finity]

Dune 2 is the best sci-fi movie in 2024.

[cotillion]

no way chani doesnt have his children, its literally the reason the next 3500 years happen the way they do

[didleydooby]

important thing to note, Muad Dib says to Jessica that he has forseen that Chani will come to accept it eventually, and we do not doubt the prescience of the Lisan al Gaib

[plo]

It will be about Paul calling off the holy war to win Chani back. Also, Tyrion Lannister will sing sweet songs to Khal Drogo..

[randizzle]

Chani will come around and forgive him - Paul says he has seen this in a vision already.

The new dynamic between Paul and Chani will make their relationship more interesting for DUNE MESSIAH, they could briefly reconcile, making her death even more tragic.

[DMLXGaming]

If Anya Taylor-Joy is still going to play Alia, then we're likely looking at a jump time of 18 - 22 years. 🧐

poor Denis getting his name massacred every time someone says it lol

D. U. N. E. = Dune Part 1: D. "Dreams" / Dune Part 2: U. "Uprising" // Messiah Part 1 (Dune Part 3): N. "Nightmares" / Messiah Part 2 (Dune Part 4): E. "Exile" = D. U. N. E.

[imeprezime]

In the movie itself Paul says that Chani will come to see things his way in time. Therefore the main story of messiah should remain the same as the book more or less

[GrosMollets]

Denis Ville-nouve. At least they got the Denis spelling right. They're getting there!

[isaacdavenport]

"You are not prepared for what is to come"

[procrastinatinggamer]

Funny bit of trivia - the guy who played Paul in the 2000 miniseries, Alec Newman, also voiced Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners.

[axt]

Given how risk averse Denis was re-working the first couple of movies for modern audiences, he is going to lose his mind trying to adapt Messiah

[tdubb]

Can’t wait to see Paul blinded by the stone burner and leaving to wander the wastelands of Arrakis, ghola Duncan and Chani’s death. Messiah is a fuckin trip

[Henbot]

Maybe people will realise how much Star Wars ripped off Dune and even Game of Thrones Faceless Men 😂

[diegojosesoriano]

Hopefully they just call it Dune Messiah

[ritaclay]

Now this is how you do a movie trilogy. Phenomenal cast, writing, the whole package

[CALIMA]

My guess is the story is going to take place near Paul end of rule. Where he choose not to become an emperor and he is going to reconcile with Channi and they are going to have children. Kinda like in the book but not accurate.
