The Novel Behind 2026’s Best Sci-Fi Masterpiece Is Taking Over the World 5 Years Later

Many movie fans already have their sights set on the end of 2026, when three of the most ambitious sci-fi movies of the year are all set to come out on the same day. The biggest pure sci-fi movie arriving in theaters on December 18, 2026, is Dune: Part Three, the final chapter in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi saga that launched back in 2021. Opening in theaters on the same day as Dune 3 is Avengers: Doomsday, which will likely post higher box-office numbers than its Arrakis-set counterpart. This is largely due to it being the MCU’s first Avengers movie in seven years, and the first Marvel movie since Avengers: Endgame to star Robert Downey Jr. Netflix also announced this week that Brad Bird’s sci-fi detective thriller, Ray Gunn, will begin streaming on the very same day.
