Legendary Entertainment (the production company behind the Dune movies) have announced to both Deadline and Variety that a third Dune movie is officially in the works. At the time of writing, there is no official title for the movie yet, whether it’s going to be Dune Part Three, Dune Part 3 or Dune Messiah (which is the same name as the book that the movie will adapt).

However, it seems to be in early development, so it might be a few years yet before the movie eventually releases.

At the time of writing, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Part Two has grossed a whopping US$631.28 million globally. It is now the highest-grossing movie of 2024 so far.

Dune Part Two stars Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson joined by fellow returning Dune Part One cast members Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, and Stephen McKinley Henderson, as well as new additions Austin Butler, Tim Blake Nelson, Florence Pugh, Souheila Yacoub, and Léa Seydoux.

Dune Part Two explores “the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavours to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”

Dune Part Two is now showing in Malaysian cinemas.
