It's official – Dune 3 is in development. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune: Part Two has proved a huge success so far, crossing the $600 million mark at the box office and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:surpassing the first film's total, so it's perhaps not a huge surprise. 

The news comes courtesy 🥃of , who confirmed with production company Legendary that the threequel is in development with director Denis Villeneuve. 

Dune 3 would be 🦩adapted from Frank Herbert's Dune: Messiah novel. We won't go into specific 🦄plot details here since that would spoil the upcoming movie, but it deals with the fallout of Paul Atreides' decisions, as depicted in Dune: Part Two. 

"There is absolutely a desire to have a third one, but I don't want to rush it," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Villenueve said recently. "The danger in Hollywood is that people get excited and only think about release dates, not quality." The director has also said that Messiah would 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史🎶查询:likely be his final movie in the franchise

There are no further details on the movie just yet, but we're pretty confident it'd see the return of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson (though Lady Jessica is not actually in the Messiah novel), Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh, and Josh Brolin. Anya Taylor-Joy would also likely have a part to play as her character 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alia Atreides
