    could its title be something other than Dune: Messiah?

    He did adjust the story in Dune 2 to better align with Dune: Messiah but it also shows he is no respecter of the original stories, so he might still take things in a different direction, especially as Messiah is, in some ways a darker reaction to the success of Dune and it is unclear how well that would translate into a blockbuster movie. However, it may be Villeneuve has the confidence of the studios and will be given the room to make an… “anti-blockbuster”.
