Dune: Part Two is going to start filming in July 2022

As of November 11, 2021, Dune has grossed a little over $85 million at the domestic box office and $247 million at the international box office. With a worldwide gross of $330 million on a $165 million budget, Villeneuve's hard work to make a live-action adaptation of the novel was not in vain. Now, he's set to return as the director for Dune: Part Two, which will release on October 20, 2023.

Despite the 155-minute runtime of Dune: Part One, one of the biggest flaws of the film was that it relied too much on world-building and introducing characters. However, now that Part One has gotten the foundations right, Part Two won't need to spend as much time introducing who's who and what's what. This should make Part Two an even better movie, especially with composer Hans Zimmer already coming up with roughly 90 minutes of new music to help Villeneuve, who is also writing the script.

With that said, it's a long wait between now and October 2023. If you're itching for more Dune, you can watch it over and over again on HBO Max until November 22. You can also check out our round-up of games based on Dune.
