"So Anya Taylor Joy playing a 12 year old?": Internet in splits as Denis Villeneuve confirms ‘Dune: Messiah' takes place 12 years after ‘Part 2’

All Dune fans assemble, a new prophecy is here. Dune: Messiah, the much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster Dune: Part Two, will take place 12 years after the events of Part Two. It is reported that Denis Villeneuve, the director of Dune Part One & Two, is finishing the script for Dune: Messiah and is hoping to start filming soon.

It is speculated that the third installment will leap 12 years. The story will also explore Paul's reign as the emperor, which could be the conclusion of the Paul Atreides arc, 'as it was written' in the books.

Everyone is also wondering how the makers will age Timothee Chalamet. Another important question raised is how Anya Taylor-Joy, who is 28, will play a 12-year-old in Dune: Messiah.
