Director Denis Villeneuve stated that the ending of Dune: Part Two, although different from Frank Herbert's novel, still aligns with the original message of the text. He reassured fans that any concerns regarding deviations from the anticipated sequel, Dune Messiah, are misplaced. At the 52nd Saturn Awards, Villeneuve won awards for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Film Direction, indicating the success of the adaptation. During a journalist roundtable, he discussed the emotional impact of Dune: Part Two’s ending and its implications for Dune 3, maintaining Herbert's overarching themes.
"It's not that different," Villeneuve insists, referring to the ending of Dune: Part Two in which Chani (Zendaya) is furious with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and rides off on a sandworm on her own.
During the 52nd Saturn Awards, Villeneuve took home two trophies: one for Best Science Fiction Film and another for Best Film Direction.
Villeneuve suggests that any radical theories fans might have that his adaptation will deviate from the second book, Dune Messiah, are unfounded.
Yes, the book famously (or infamously) ends with Lady Jessica comforting Chani, and telling her that Princess Irulan is not Paul's true love.
