Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two has just been delayed by a few weeks, with its anticipated release date now reportedly moved from October 20th, 2023 to November 17th, while the next Godzilla-Kong sequel from Legendary has been announced for March 15th… of 2024!

The calendar reshuffle has placed the Dune sequel in direct competition with Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which had already set its cinematic release on the exact same date.

Bear in mind that neither blockbusters have yet begun production (Hell, casting is still underway) – though the Hunger Games prequel is due to start filming later this month – so these release dates may very much still be subject to change.

As for the next time we see giant monkeys and lizards battle, it’s looking to be a while; try not to despair. After all, fans also have the Apple TV+ series based on Godzilla and the Titans to look forward to, though it is yet to receive a release window. According to the synopsis, the show takes place after the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that destroyed San Francisco. Now living with the shocking new reality that monsters are real, the yet-untitled Monsterverse series will explore one family’s journey to uncover its buried secret and a legacy linking them to the secret organisation known as Monarch.
