A “dune war”?
After several postponements “ The Batman Part 2 »should be able to take that out October 2, 2026 if all goes well. As for the plot, the project still remains mysterious and we don’t yet know what new enemy the Dark Knight, played here by Robert Pattinson, will face. After “The Riddler,” many fans are eager to know more about the Joker, played by Barry Keoghan, who was only seen briefly. However, clues left by director Matt Reeves at the time suggested that he could return in this sequel. There are a variety of charismatic enemies, and Reeves could surprise us.
In the meantime, we will have to make do with the Penguin series expected this fall, which could leave many clues before the release of official posters or a trailer. Then, in December, there are two major sagas that will be released on exactly the same day: “Dune” and “Star Wars”.
“THE BATMAN PART II,” “DUNE 3,” and an untitled “STAR WARS” film are all expected to be released in the last three months of 2026 – Dune and Stars Wars on the same day

Please note that we are not talking about the film here “The Mandalorian and Grogu” based on the characters of the same name from “The Mandalorian”, which is expected the 26th of 2026.This is indeed another Star Wars film, perhaps the beginning of a new trilogy that will be released December 18, 2026. At this point we know very little, but Disney has already revealed that it could be the signed work Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy takes place 15 years after Episode IX, in which Rey will rebuild the Jedi Order. It will therefore be a more or less direct sequel to “The Ascension of Skywalker” (2019).
According to the company, this is the most advanced project to date. Otherwise, it could be James Mangold’s feature film, which is set 25,000 years before the events of the Skywalker saga and tells of the discovery of the Force and the birth of the first Jedi. In any case, it will be in direct competition with« Dune 3 »by Denis Villeneuve, also expected onDecember 18, 2026For now, the director is only just beginning this sequel, which will conclude his trilogy. We will undoubtedly find Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) sealing his fate alongside the Fremen. Now there is only one thing left to do: keep an eye on the news.
