Future of Dune: Why Steven Spielberg is the Perfect Director to Helm the Franchise After Dune 3 as Denis Villeneuve Hints Exit

The Dune director may be passing the spice torch, but we trust Steven Spielberg to take us on a wild sand ride!

Future of Dune: Why Steven Spielberg is the Perfect Director to Helm the Franchise After Dune 3 as Denis Villeneuve Hints Exit

With the phenomenal response to Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction epic, Dune 2, viewers have been desperately awaiting the next entry in the franchise. Nonetheless, recent hints from the Canadian filmmaker himself that he may not return to the director’s chair following the third flick have sparked speculation about who might take over the reins.

Not surprisingly, one name that has been popping up in our minds is none other than legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. What is more exciting is that the Jurassic Park director has even heaped praise on the critically acclaimed Dune 2, declaring it “one of the most brilliant science fiction films” he has ever seen.

While some may regard Spielberg as an unusual choice for a project as large and complex as Dune, his experience with otherworldly creatures and fantastical elements in films such as Jurassic Park and ET make him the ideal candidate to breathe new life into the futuristic world of Arrakis. Fits perfectly!

The Challenge Ahead for Dune: Is the Next Book Not That Great?

In Dune: Part Two, there are a lot of incredibly bizarre visuals, as you may have noticed if you watched the second installment.
