Production Kicks Off for Dune: Part Three

Los Angeles: Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve has officially commenced production on the third chapter of the Dune saga.

Titled Dune: Part Three, this upcoming film aims to adapt Frank Herbert's 1969 novel, Dune: Messiah.

The previous entries in the series, Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), were based on Herbert's iconic 1965 work, which follows Paul Atreides and his family's struggle for survival on the harsh desert planet of Arrakis.

A post on the official X account for Dune stated, "‘...on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints.’ Production has begun on the next film in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune trilogy."

Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are set to reprise their roles as Paul Atreides and Chani, respectively.

Additionally, Jason Momoa has confirmed his return for Part Three, following his appearance in the first film.

The cast also includes notable actors such as Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem.

Dune: Part Three is slated for a theatrical release in December 2026.
