Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Director Denis Villeneuve's first movie after Dune: Part Two has been announced, and will be another production alongside him and Legendary Entertainment. The sci-fi director's latest theatrical hit has garnered $630.1 million at the box office as of writing, making it likely he'll be able to craft another installment in the future.
However, Deadline reports that Villeneuve's next movie following Dune: Part Two's release will be a film based on Annie Jacobsen's nonfiction novel Nuclear War: A Scenario. Teaming up with Legendary once more to make the movie, the director is expected to make the film after Dune Messiah is finished. This means it could be quite some time until the director's new project about nuclear warfare is cemented.
What To Expect From Denis Villeneuve's Nuclear War Movie Jacobsen, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, wrote Nuclear War: A Scenario as a nonfiction examination of what would happen to humanity if a nuclear war were to happen. Her sources include dozens of military personnel and civilians who know of response plans should such a war break out in the world.
While Dune: Part Two's ending touched on the notion of people using major weapons against each other in wartime, the major focus of the film was on its characters. With Nuclear War, though, the film can focus on the large-scale impact of such weapons in a more grounded setting. The horror it could explore could be compared to last year's Oppenheimer, delving deeper into the what-if scenario of the world using nuclear weapons against one another.

Since it seems the movie won't be made until after Dune Messiah arrives, Villeneuve has plenty of time to fully develop what the upcoming adaptation is going to focus on.
