What happens

Dune: Part Three is an upcoming American epic space opera film co-produced and directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the screenplay with Brian K. Vaughan. Based on the 1969 novel Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert, it is the sequel to Dune: Part Two (2024) and the third and final film in Villeneuve's Dune film trilogy. The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach de Bankolé, Charlotte Rampling, Anya Taylor-Joy, Robert Pattinson, and Javier Bardem. While promoting Dune (2021), Villeneuve confirmed plans to adapt Dune Messiah if the Dune films were successful, later stating that it would be the final film he would work on in the series. Following the critical and commercial success of Dune: Part Two, the film was confirmed to be in development, and Warner Bros. Pictures set up a December 2026 release date. After the cast was announced throughout March, principal photography began in July 2025 and wrapped that November, taking place in Budapest and Abu Dhabi. Hans Zimmer returned from the previous installments to compose the film's score. Dune: Part Three is scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on December 18, 2026.
