Robert Downey Jr and Timothée Chalamet are trying to make ‘Dunesday’ happen in 2026 after the massive success of 2023’s Barbenheimer.
Downey Jr will be playing the villainous Doctor Doom in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, while Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides in the third instalment of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune series. Both films are slated to be released on 18 December this year, setting up what could be either one of the year’s biggest theatrical clashes or rare dual-release phenomenon.
