Dennis Villeneuve has touched on the possibility of directing a third part to his Dune adaptation.In a recent Empire cover story for Dune: Part Two, the filmmaker revealed that it "would be the dream" if he was able to create a trilogy. Part Three, however, would follow Frank Herbert's sequel novel Dune Messiah. “Dune Messiah was written in reaction to the fact that people perceived Paul Atreides as a hero,” he shared. “Which is not what he wanted to do.
