Dune: Part Three is one of the most anticipated movies of 2026, but who will be in the cast? See the full list below.
Director Denis Villeneuve is returning for the third film in the franchise, which will be based on Frank Herbert’s 1969 novel Dune Messiah, and is scheduled to be released in cinemas on December 18, 2026.
The first film was released in October 2021 and followed Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as his family, the noble House Atreides, is thrust into a war for the deadly and inhospitable desert planet Arrakis.
Part Two arrived in March 2024, adapting the second part of Herbert’s original 1965 novel, in which Paul Atreides unites with the Fremen people of Arrakis to wage war against House Harkonnen.
Both films have been huge box office successes, drawing $411million and $715million respectively worldwide and both were nominated for multiple Oscars, including Best Picture.
In a four-star review of Dune: Part Two, NME wrote: “If there’s an issue with Dune: Part Two, it’s only that the ending feels a little rushed, considering the near six-hour build-up over the past two movies. At any rate, the door is left wide open for a third instalment, and Villeneuve has already indicated his willingness to continue with an adaptation of Herbert’s sequel: Dune Messiah, should Part Two rake in enough spicy space cash, so there may well be more to come. In the meantime, make sure you see this on the biggest, loudest screen you can find.”
