The Two Undisputed Kings of Sci-Fi Movies Are Returning in 2026 (& It’s Not Nolan & Villeneuve)

Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve have given us some of the most impressive and intellectually stimulating science fiction films of the last fifteen years with movies like Inception, Interstellar, Tenet, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and the Dune films. Both directors have new projects planned for 2026: Nolan will explore epic fantasy with The Odyssey, and Villeneuve will conclude his Dune series with Dune: Part Three. However, next year will also bring new films from two giants of the sci-fi genre: Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott.
