Dune 3 is definitely happening, even if we don't know exactly when the threequel will arrive in cinemas yet. The third movie was announced on April 4, 2024 by production company Legendary following the huge box office success of Dune: Part Two, which is now available to stream on Max in the US.

Completing a monumental two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's beloved novel, Dune 2 runs for a confirmed 165 minutes and 37 seconds, or 2 hours and 45 minutes. The sequel is 10 minutes longer than Dune: Part One, released in 2021.

How long is the 'Dune' sequel? AMC's website lists the movie's run time at 2 hours and 46 minutes. That's slightly longer than the first film in the series, which was 2 hours and 35 minutes, according to IMDB. But it's still shorter than "Titanic," which came in at 3:15.

Without giving away any real spoilers, Messiah picks up after a 12-year time jump and is focused on Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) ruling as Emperor, and his relationship with his wife, Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh), and concubine, Chani (Zendaya).
