Denis Villeneuve, the talented director behind Dune: Part Two, recently provided an update on the potential for a Dune 3 film and whether or not it will be his next project.

In response, he revealed, "The script for the third part is almost finished, but not quite there yet.

It will take some time...

I have dreams of creating a third film. It just makes sense to me, but I am uncertain about when I will return to the world of Arrakis. I may choose to work on something else first, if only to take a break from the intense world of Dune.

For my own mental well-being, I may opt to tackle another project before diving back into that universe that I hold dear."Despite his reservations about immediately jumping into Dune 3, Villeneuve expressed a sense of pride and satisfaction with the upcoming Dune: Part Two. He declared, "I am even more proud of this film than I was of the first one.

There is a vibrancy and depth to Part Two that I believe surpasses the first installment. The relationships between the characters are more dynamic, and I was able to capture an emotional intensity that I felt was lacking in Part One. While I wouldn't say that the film is flawless, I am truly delighted with how Part Two has turned out, and I am eagerly looking forward to sharing it with audiences around the world.
