Villeneuve says Dune: Part Three will depart from Dune Messiah as his final Dune film
Dune: Part Three is scheduled for December 18, 2026 and adapts Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, according to the article.
Denis Villeneuve told his crew, "I don't want us to walk into our own footsteps," which the article interprets as a sign that the film will depart from the novel.
The article says the trailer places the story 17 years after Dune: Part Two.
Villeneuve has said Part Three will be his final Dune film and does not plan to adapt later novels such as Children of Dune.
Villeneuve called Dune Messiah "by far my favorite book of the series" and described the third film as among the most personal of his career.
