Dune: Part Three is confirmed to be in development at Legendary. Helmed by Denis Villeneuve, the first two Dune films were critically acclaimed upon release, and though Part One struggled at the box office because of a day-and-date streaming release and audiences weary of the pandemic, Part Two more than made up for it with a strong showing. As of the time of writing, it is the highest-grossing movie of 2023 with $630.2 million so far at the worldwide box office.
