Dune: Part Three will be the shortest film of the trilogy

[DecentBloke]

The final Dune film will be a little leaner than the first two. Collider reports that Dune Part Three will run about two hours and 20 minutes, making it the shortest film of Denis Villeneuve's trilogy

That is about 15 minutes shorter than the first Dune and almost 30 minutes shorter than Part Two. The film opens on 18 December 2026, the same day as Avengers Doomsday, which Collider compares to the Barbenheimer weekend

Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh return, with Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia. Jason Momoa comes back as Hayt, a clone of Duncan Idaho

Robert Pattinson joins as the villain Scytale, Rebecca Ferguson briefly returns as Jessica, and Javier Bardem plays Stilgar again. Villeneuve directs

A tighter runtime could suit Dune Messiah, which is a shorter and more intimate book than the original. Robert Pattinson as Scytale is an inspired casting choice. Sharing a release date with Avengers will make for a fascinating box office battle

Will you see Dune Part Three or Avengers Doomsday first? And is a shorter runtime a good thing?
