When is Dune: Part Three releasing?

According to The Independent, Dune: Part Three is set to release on December 18, 2026. The movie follows the previous installment, Dune: Part One, which was released in 2021. In the third part, Jason Momoa is reportedly reprising his role as Duncan Idaho, a character he originally portrayed in Dune: Part One.

The other cast members of the movie include Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, and Florence Pugh. Speaking of the movie, Director Denis Villeneuve said in Vanity Fair’s “Little Gold Men” podcast:

"It was really a pair of movies (Dune) that will be the adaptation of the first book. That’s done and that’s finished. If I do a third one, which is in the writing process, it’s not like a trilogy. It’s strange to say that, but if I go back there, it’s to do something that feels different and has its own identity."
