Dune - Part Three, 2026

Release: December 18, 2026

Denis Villeneuve’s breathtaking Dune saga will finally come to a close with Dune: Part Three. Even though Dune: Part Two brought the central story of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as told in Frank Herbert’s original novel to a close, the third and reportedly final installment will adapt the events of Dune: Messiah, and perhaps even the novels beyond that. While there is some apprehension among fans, especially considering how wacky and out there the later books can get (you’ll see if the God Emperor shows up), but if the last two films in this saga are any indication, we’re in good hands with Denis Villeneuve.

2021’s Dune gave fans what they have been waiting years for – a proper bold, faithful, and visually stunning adaptation of one of the most influential sci-fi stories ever conceived. And Dune: Part II was even better, with seeing the worm-covered sands of Arrakis and Paul’s epic-yet-tragic ascendance to royalty being a dream come true, making for some of the best sci-fi sagas of recent years. If Villeneuve can do the impossible and really stick with the landing with the final chapter, we may be looking at the best three science fiction movies since the original Star Wars trilogy.
