Maybe a Marvel-like cinematic universe?

Oh gawd, let us hope not. Even Frank Herbert could not make anything work beyond the first novel. Subsequent books were each worse than the last, and his heirs' attempts have been even more feeble.

Do just Dune right, make a billion dollars, and quit. Please.

Yes. The original one and only Dune is unmatched. The sequels and follow ups are dross. But the one Dune stands above all the rest. A great film waiting to be made.

Even Frank Herbert’s son couldn’t do the later books right.
