Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides wearing a stillsuit and Fremen robes in the desert of Arrakis
Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve explains why Dune: Messiah won't be part of a franchise trilogy. After closing the first part of Paul Atreides' journey with Dune: Part Two, Villeneuve is currently hard at work developing the story outline for Dune: Messiah, which is based on the Frank Herbert book of the same name. The story is set twelve years after the events of Dune and concludes Atreides' story within the Known Universe.
The thing is, first, it’s really important that people understand for me, it was really a diptych, it was two movies, a pair of movies that will be the adaptation of the first book. So that’s done, that’s finished. So, if I do a third one, which is in the writing process, I will say that, for me, it’s a different object. It’s not like a trilogy almost, it’s strange to say, but I really want to—if I go back there—to do something that feels different and has its own identity.
At the end of Dune: Part Two, Paul declares himself as the Lisan al Gaib and challenges Shaddam IV for the throne. He successfully kills Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen . He also asks for Princess Irulan's hand in marriage, to which she accepts after the Emperor surrenders. This prompts the beginning of a holy war that could prove cataclysmic for the Known Universe, leading Chani to leave Paul for parts unknown.
