Anya-Taylor Joy's cameo in 'Dune: Part Two' has sparked speculation about the potential for her character to play a more significant role in 'Dune: Part Three,' should the film be greenlit by Warner Bros. The sequel, set for release in 2024, follows Paul Atreides as he leads a rebellion against oppressive rulers on the planet Arrakis, aided by his mother Lady Jessica and the native Fremen population.
In the midst of a war with Baron Harkonnen and Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, Paul grapples with visions of a future where his actions could trigger a galaxy-wide holy war, resulting in the deaths of billions. Lady Jessica communicates with her unborn daughter about the unfolding events, hinting at a deeper connection to the Atreides legacy.
Paul's sister briefly appears in his visions, portrayed by Taylor-Joy, suggesting a potential expansion of her role in future installments. Following a pivotal moment where Paul gains prophetic abilities by consuming the Water of Life, he falls into a coma and experiences a vision of a transformed Arrakis with oceans and jungles.
If 'Dune: Part Three' materializes, Taylor-Joy's character may take on a more central role, possibly assuming leadership of the Atreides family and the universe itself. The narrative could explore themes of power struggles and succession, with Alia emerging as a key figure in the aftermath of Paul's reign.
The adaptation of Frank Herbert's 'Dune: Messiah' in a potential third film would delve into the repercussions of Paul's actions, leading to attempts on his life and Alia's ascension to power. The story unfolds with unexpected twists, including Alia's relationship with a clone of Duncan Idaho and her possession by the ghost of Baron Harkonnen.
Should 'Dune: Part Three' progress, viewers can anticipate a continuation of the intricate plotlines and character arcs that have captivated audiences, offering a fresh perspective on the complex universe of the Dune franchise.
