Dune 3 is currently in development, and it has some important decisions to make. The movie comes after both of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies were well-received, garnering Academy Award nominations and critical acclaim. The second installment was also a huge box office success, making over $714.6 million at the worldwide box office. The Dune 3 release date has yet to be confirmed, but Warner Bros. has scheduled Villeneuve’s next movie for December 18, 2026, which is widely believed to continue Paul Atreides’ story.
