So, mark your calendars for March 1, 2024, because that’s when Dune: Part Two is finally hitting theaters. Originally, it was supposed to come out in 2022, but because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, we had to wait a bit longer.

However, Villeneuve has also been dropping hints left and right about how awesome the soundtrack is going to be for the upcoming part of Dune. He even tweeted about it, saying,
“It’s by far the best score I’ve had in my life, and in PART TWO the score is even stronger than PART ONE. I can say that with confidence.”
So, if you thought we were excited before, just wait. Dune: Part Two is only the beginning. Get ready for another epic adventure through the desert of Arrakis.
Dune: Part Two Is Just The Beginning; Dune 3 Planned
Dune: Part Two isn’t the end of the story; it’s just another step in the saga. As fans gear up for the sequel’s release, the news of Dune 3 being in the works adds to the excitement.
We’re just a few weeks away from the premiere of Dune: Part Two, directed by Villeneuve and featuring a star-studded cast.
Based on Frank Herbert’s Dune series, Villeneuve split the first book into two movies, with the first installment hitting theaters in 2021. The trailers and promos for Dune: Part Two have piqued the audience’s curiosity, especially regarding the fate of Chalamet’s character, Paul Atreides.
It’s no secret that the second film will end with a cliffhanger, setting the stage for the third installment, which will be based on Herbert’s sequel, Dune Messiah.
In an interview with Time, Villeneuve hinted at the possibility of a trilogy but also hinted that Dune Messiah might be his last involvement with the franchise. He said, “Dune Messiah should be the last Dune movie for me.”
With six books in the series, there’s speculation about who might take over the reins in the future. However, for now, fans are eagerly anticipating the fate of their favorite characters and the continuation of this epic sci-fi journey.
