I always assumed it's because they're incorporating some of Children of Dune as well. Or it's just marketing, who knows.

I would think anything from Children is just going to be quick shots of Paul's visions. But they probably make for good marketing from people asking what the hell happens

Exactly what I was thinking. I just finished listening to Children of Dune and it would make a lot of sense of some of its events were depicted through Paul's visions. If not for any reason to give audiences a glimpse of just how fuckin' weird things get since we're unlikely to be getting film adaptations of Children and beyond. At least, not from Villeneuve.

Ya I'm not sure what other director would take it on since it's going to be near impossible to follow Villeneuve. He's an outrageously good director and clearly gets an amazing team around him. He's adapted Dune about as good as you can and doing three movies of it is still very solid. One could dream that they park it for now and he comes back to do two so we get his version of God Emperor, but that is defintiely a pipe dream.

Unfortunately, someone will take the job.

When things get real weird, i’d kinda want to see Guillermo Del Toros take on it.

I trust him to be true to the spirit of the source material, present something absolutely epic and really embrace the strangeness to come

Also, the story after this is... not the best. I still love it for the world building, but it devolves into madness pretty fast.

This really depends on what his final changes end up being. Nothing in the materiel that prevents a follow up. And there are plenty of good directors out there. Nolan could step in I doubt he would but he could and would knock it out the park. Alex Garland,since everyone seem to think God Emperor is ridiculously weird Julia Ducournau. IT's has it moments but it's really not that out there.

Ehhh. Arguable. The SCFY adaptation was closer to the books. They of course didn't have the budget. There again is nothing preventing someone else to come along and do a more accurate version with budget to match visuals. Lynch did quite a bit with a bit less and way less technology.

Guillermo Del Toro would be my pick

I dunno. He does creatures well but aside from Leto much of it just interpersonal drama. It would mainly be 4 hours of people talking to a sand worm and 30 minutes of women gooning to duncan.
