Reports also claim that producers are interested in Denis Villenueve directing the new films. Barbara Broccoli, one of the producers of the franchise, was reportedly excited to bring Villenueve into the fold. “That is her dream scenario, but since he is very busy, it might be difficult to lock him down,” said the source. “If he doesn't do the next one, they will keep asking him to direct future instalments.”

Villenueve comes off of directing “Dune 2,” which has been one of the year’s biggest box office hits.
