Summary
Dune 3is motivate ahead quicker than I would have expected , and I hope that means Denis Villeneuve is n’t changing one detail fromDune Messiah ’s story . After adjust the first of Frank Herbert’sDunebooks in two movies , Villeneuve is put to conclude his sci - fi trilogy with an version of the follow - up novel . Dune Messiahchronicles the next chapter in Paul Atreides ' lifetime , find fault up after the events ofDune : Part Two ’s endingand showcasing his reign as the Emperor . see this part of Paul ’s animation and how Villeneuve will accommodate more challenging beginning stuff makesDune 3quite exciting .
The evolution onDune 3has progressed much quicker than counter , though . Villeneuve ab initio stressed his stake in taking a recess from Arrakis and make an original sci - fi movie in between sequels . However , Warner Bros. and LegendaryconfirmedDune 3shortly after the box office succeeder ofDune 2 . With a handwriting already reportedly near completion , I ’m quite surprised by how quickly Villeneuve and others appear to be be active with the next installment . There is now an expected short turnaround forDune 3that hopefully wo n’t change a key aspect of the story .
After the volatile ending of Dune 2 , Dune 3 could cap off Denis Villeneuve ’s Dune trilogy by focusing on the outcome of the novel Dune : Messiah .

Dune 3 Is On Track To Come Out A Decade Too Early
Warner Bros. Is Hoping For A 2026 Release Date
Villeneuve makingDune 3 in less than three years after the prior moving picture would align withDune 2 ’s development . However , the remainder here comes with the source material the movies adapt . Dune 2had to happen quick because it pick up straight off afterDune ’s ending . However , Dune 3is an adaptation ofDune Messiah , and the book accept place 12 years after . That is whyI thought it would make sentience for the enfranchisement if Villeneuve took a similarly longsighted breakbefore ending the trilogy . NowDune 3will happen about 10 years too betimes for that to work .
Dune 3 Has To Have A Time Jump To Tell Messiah’s Story Right
Paul’s Story Needs A Gap After Dune 2
It was always unlikely that the studios would check to let Villeneuve expect 12 years to makeDune 3 . But it is still predominate that the movie hold a significant time start . Dune Messiah ’s narration take place 12 eld afterDuneso that Paul could be fully established as the new Emperor of the galaxy . It allows fourth dimension to pass so he and Chani can begin thinking about starting a family . Meanwhile , the passing of time plays a vital function in the creative activity of a insurrection against Paul and his Fremen jihad after the Holy War .
SinceDune Messiahis a less beloved book of account compared to Frank Herbert ’s first , there are surely going to be view of the story , fictional character bow , and more that are changed . The time saltation is not one of the taradiddle particular that can be eliminated . Even if the time leap has to be bowdlerise to 6 or 7 yr , which is closelipped to how much time will pass in real life between the first and third installments , Dune 3will only employment as a properDune Messiahadaptation if the existence and Paul are able-bodied to progress off - screen .
This will permit forDune 3to fully research the state of the galaxy under Paul ’s rule and what it has been like for him to go for his newfound power . whole brush aside the time jumping will lessen the impact of Paul ’s bow and force various story element to vary . I have to think thatAnya Taylor - Joy ’s Alia Atreides cameo inDune 2and Paul ’s visual sensation of her is a direct star sign thatDune 3will have a clip saltation to explain Paul ’s sister being so much older .

Dune 3’s Time Jump Will Help The Characters
The Characters Can Age Up With The Actors
Another understanding why I wantDune 3to keep the time jumping is how it helps the characters . The first two movies never explicitly reveal how honest-to-god Paul , Chani , or Irulan are , but each of them are teenagers in the book . The picture seemed to senesce them up slimly to account for Timothée Chalamet , Zendaya , and Florence Pugh toy them in their mid-20s . By the timeDune Messiah ’s story bring place , they should all be in their 30sand have over a decade of experience in their complicated political , wild-eyed , and personal relationships .
Dune 3 ’s expected primary star will be in their late 20 when filming probably begins
Dune 3could get off with only a few years passing between flick to have the actors play the characters at appropriate age for the book . However , the lineament would still lack the longtime link that I think are necessary to tellDune Messiah ’s story . Any passage of time will still countenance Chalamet , Zendaya , Pugh , Taylor - Joy , and others to play their characters with more matureness and animation experience than before . They are n’t a group of wax stars in their early twenty anymore , andDune 3including the clip jump means the character can feel older and more found .
