Dune 3 is coming. Release date announced
After the huge commercial success and critical acclaim of Dune: Part 2, Warner Bros. has given the green light to a third film in the series. What’s more, it has given an official release date.
The third part is to be directed by Denis Villeneuve, who will adapt Frank Herbert’s 1969 novel – Dune Messiah.
Rumors about the premiere have been circulating for some time, but IMAX Corporation has only just confirmed that the film will be released December 18, 2026.
The director has already produced such films as Arrival and Blade Runner 2049so there is no doubt that he will cope with this undertaking and ensure the success of the third part of the cult saga as well.
We’re in the early stages. We’re headed in the right direction. A lot of work has been done, but there’s still a lot to do to make something really solid.
– said Denis Villeneuve in an interview with Digital Spy.
Josh Grode, CEO of Legendary Entertainment, also shares this opinion, stating that the huge success of Dune Part 2 ensured a huge trust in Villeneuve.
I think everyone is very excited and really enjoying this moment. If Denis manages to write a good script again, I don’t see why an equally good production wouldn’t be made.
– says Josh Grode.
Dune 3 is scheduled to premiere on December 18, 2026.
