r/dune on Reddit: There are unconfirmed rumors circulating that Dune Messiah is now slated for a December 2026 release
June 28, 2024 -

I’m reading sources on twitter (Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter) saying that Villeneuve may have decided to make Dune Messiah next, instead of the other film he had planned. Again, not confirmed. It almost seemed like a quick turnaround to me but if they already have the script and can start filming in early 2025, why not?
