THR is pushing back on Deadline’s initial report that Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Messiah” would only be shooting in 2026. Apparently, that’s not accurate at all.
Multiple sources tell THR that “Dune: Messiah” will start production next summer, which overlaps with “Spider-Man 4.” This leads me to believe that Zendaya’s role in ‘Spider-Man 4’ must be relatively small.
“Dune” Messiah” will be having “an extensive, multi-location, multi-month shoot.” The main actors on this third film will be Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy. No word yet on who is collaborating with Villeneuve on the screenplay.
You know what this all means? ‘Dune 3’ might be keeping its December 18th, 2026 release date after all. Villeneuve is currently working on the script and locking the cast. Don’t expect any other movie from him until he completes this trilogy.
