Dune is one of those epic sci-fi novels that’s just too big to capture in one movie properly. With Dune: Part 2 hitting theaters, we’ve finally gotten the complete story of Paul Atreides and his rise to power as the Lisan al Gaib. Or have we? House Atreides may have gotten its revenge by the end of the movie, but it’s clear there’s a lot more story to tell where Paul and his family are concerned.

With that in mind, let’s break down the ending to Dune: Part 2 and where it leaves characters like Timothée Chalamet’s Paul, Zendaya’s Chani, and Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan. Where does the story go from here, and why does it appear that these movies are diverging from the books? Here’s everything you need to know about the possible future of the franchise.

Dune: Part 2 also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, Austin Butler, Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux. The film is currently playing in theaters.

Dune 2 does not have a post-credits scene because it doesn’t need one.

Dune is the "impossible sci-fi book" to translate to film. Villeneuve did about as well as anyone could.

Billions will die in his holy war. Next movie will be brutal.

If a movie gives you the chills and goosebumps non-stop through out the film, that's how you know they've created something magnificent. Bravo to the whole team and director.👏

Mid and Post-credits scenes are killing cinema. I’m glad Villeneuve had the sense not to do them.

Paul said to his mother that Chani will come to understand I’ve seen it. So I’m sure she will eventually come back

Did anyone else notice actor Everett McGill (the 1984 Dune's Stilgar) as the Sardukaur leader in the throne room when the Fremen break in? Great cameo!!!

The movie was astonishing

The Navegators' guild didnt even make it to the conversation floor to let the houses know why and how Paul is the new emperor. The Navegators were/are as important to the story as the emperor.

If the movie ends with Paul having control of Arrakis wouldn't that mean that he has control of spice and therefore has control of the universe

The studio would be smart to Green Light Dune Messiah as soon as possible while Dune is hot before it cools off like the MCU has cooled off.

Alia ain't an adult in Messiah. She's like 14 years old.

Rebecca’s Ferguson is my new hero. The fact that she is in two of my favorite sci-fi stories is awesome and she is formidable in both. Silo & Dune!

Dune 2 is a real, self-contained film so it doesn’t need a post credits scene.

Man, Dune 2 was so beautiful. What a film, score, and brilliant display of acting!

They NEED to make Dune Messiah. You cant end Dune where the Dune book ends. You end Dune at Dune Messiah.
