澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune: Part Two director Denis Viജlleneuve has 🉐said he's not going to rush Dune 3. 

The second installment in his tak😼e on Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi novel has yet to hit theaters, but it seems Villeneuve is already thinking a꧋bout the future.

. "The danger in Hollywood is that people get excited and only think about release dates, not quality."

A third movie would likely adapt Herbert's first sequel novel, which is titled Dune: Messiah. We won't go into more specific details here as it'd give the game away for Dune 2 – but there's plenty left to tell of Paul Atreides' story.🎃 

As for when we might see Dune 3, that remains to be seen. The first Dune film released back in 2021, and Dune 2 was intended for 2023 until the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actors' strike delayed it to its 2024 date. 

While there are still a few days before Dune: Part Two releases to the public, it's already causing a stir. It has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:glowing reviews and reactions, a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, and even 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:high praise from Christopher Nolan, who compared it to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Empire Strikes Back (widely regarded as one of 🌃✤the best sequels of all time). 

"It's a comparison that I would have never dared to do myself," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Villeneuve told GamesRadar+ of Nolan's comments. "I think it's a beautiful compliment because Empire Strikes Back is by far my favourite Star Wars movie. So, it's like, 𒀰coming from Chris, an incredible compliment." 

Dune: Part Two arrives in theaters this March 1. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming major 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates for everything else the year has in store.
