However, it is unclear whether the ending of “Dune 2” is more tragic because Denis Villeneuve himself believes it is, or whether he has substantially reworked the source material by changing the stories of the main characters. “I think the film adaptation is more tragic than the book. The way the second part ends creates a more complete balance in the development of Paul’s storyline, well, in what we could tell in the film Dune: Messiah,” the director shared, declining to elaborate on the details.
