Villeneuve wants to leave Arrakis after Dune: Part Three

Denis Villeneuve said he is fed up with the world of Arrakis and that once the film is finished he will need a very powerful rocket to get away from it. The third installment, Dune: Part Three, hits theaters on 16 December 2026, closing the saga starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh. The director also confirmed his enthusiasm for the upcoming James Bond, a project that, according to him, arrives at the right time. He notes that this new spy film is exactly what he needs to turn the page on science-fiction. According to AlloCiné, he is already planning to leave the dunes behind to explore other genres.
