Technically correct, as Dune Part One and Two are two halves of a whole, so Messiah is just a sequel. And I agree, leave while you’re at the top. It’s also right where they can end Paul’s arc. Maybe they can do Children of Dune as a tv series instead. Also, imagine God Emperor of Dune directed by Robert Eggers. lol

Love Villeneuve. He knows it’s unsustainable to keep quality with studio houses, execs, number crunchers. He delivered the first two films and has said from the begining finishing book 1&2 would be the dream.
