'Dune 3' official title revealed: Everything you need to know

Exciting news has unfolded for fans as Director Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated third instalment in the Dune franchise officially has a title.

The 57-year-old four-times Oscar nominated director is all set to return to Arrakis, as he officially revealed the title, Dune: Part Three, per Variety.

Reports indicate that Dune Messiah, named after Frank Herbert’s 1969 book, will follow the storyline of the book, centering on Paul "Muad’Dib" Atreides as he rises to power as an emperor.

In addition, the film will reportedly include some scenes shot with IMAX cameras.

However, Dune: Part Three will not be shot completely with IMAX cameras like Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, The Odyssey, which is the first and so far only film to be shot entirely in high-resolution cameras.

It is pertinent to mention that the filming of Dune: Part Three will commence soon, with Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya reprising their iconic roles.

Alongside the two, Jason Momoa has also confirmed his comeback for the third installment, after appearing in the first part but not appearing in the second.

The upcoming project also features a star-studded cast, including Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rebecca Ferguson, and Léa Seydoux.

It is to be noted that Dune: Part Three is expected to be released in theatres in December 2026.
