A third Dune film is in the works, but if you ask Denis Villeneuve, his take on the sci-fi classic is “not like a trilogy.”

At the moment, Dune director Denis Villeneuve is currently in the process of writing a third film, which will be based on the second book in the series Messiah. But despite being a third film, the director isn’t viewing them as a trilogy. Villeneuve recently made an appearance on Vanity Fair’s Little Gold Men podcast, where he spoke about the Dune films, and his plans for the series going forward. “First, it’s important that people understand that for me, it was really a diptych,” Villeneuve said of his two Dune movies.

“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.”
