Dune : Part Twois a little over a month away , and fans are still hop there ’s more motion-picture show to number . DirectorDenis Villeneuve’sbeen quite about his desire to adapt the book ’s immediate continuation , Dune Messiah . And while those plans have n’t commute , it sounds like he ’ll step back from the series before giving that one a proper go .
In a recent consultation withVanity Fair , Villeneuve talk about wanting to “ settle down a slight bit ” after Part Two . The first two Dune picture show were made back - to - back , and the squad “ did n’t have a second to rest . ” By the time of the 2022 Oscars , his manufacturer ( and married woman ) Tanya Lapointe were in pre - production on Part Two , a sharp contrast to other managing director the morning time after the ceremonial occasion who were talking about how they ’d spend their downtime . clearly , the filmmaking couple would wish to have a substantial prison-breaking of their own and put some distance between them and Arrakis .
big word , then , that sand dune : Part Two will stop on a cliffhanger , according to the director . Like the 1965 novel , the continuation will close up out “ with the root of something that is out of control , ” which he was all in favor of . Confident of how Part Two sticks the landing , Villeneuve corroborate his eventual adaptation of 1969 ’s Dune Messiah will have a 12 - year timeskip . Messiah ’s scriptis presently being worked on , and as self - professed fan of Frank Herbert ’s books , he ’s unrestrained to reach “ the terminal of the arc of Paul Atreides . ”

Naturally , Villeneuve wants an eventual Messiah film to be good than Part Two , and also for it to be “ different ” than its predecessors . A break would help see to it that , he say , as keep him from “ [ falling ] into a vocabulary that has been predefined by the first two movies . ” He ’d be game to make something else in the meantime , but it ’s not a soft ratification of anything in special — just an reference that it ’d be healthy to step back from the franchise auto .
Dune : Part Two releases in theaters on March 1 .
