While speaking to Vanity Fair, director Denis clarified that the Dune franchise won’t go ahead after the threequel. He said, “It’s important that people understand that for me, it was really a diptych. It was really a pair of movies that will be the adaptation of the first book. That’s done and that’s finished. If I do a third one, which is in the writing process, it’s not like a trilogy. It’s strange to say that, but if I go back there, it’s to do something that feels different and has its own identity.”
Meanwhile, Robert is currently working on The Odyssey with Christopher Nolan and has wrapped up a few other films, including The Drama with Zendaya and Die, My Love opposite Jennifer Lawrence.
