Dune 3 And Avengers: Doomsday Star Florence Pugh Shares The Best Way To See Both Movies

Florence Pugh has given her advice to those struggling to decide between the IMAX-dominating "Dune: Part 3" and the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" Marvel movie. When we say she's given advice, it's more like she just wants to make sure everyone gets seats for both films. In an interview with ELLE, Pugh broke down how she'd recommend seeing the two films this December.

"Do "Dune" first. Go have some lunch, process that, chat about it, dissect it, talk about it, maybe have the night off to talk about it." Pugh then recommends seeing "Avengers" that evening or the next day, without saying that's because "Avengers" is the opposite side of the sci-fi-fantasy coin the two films sit on. Pugh finishes the thought with, "I don't know, just go watch them both. That would be great."

"Dune: Part 3" will adapt the novel "Dune Messiah," in which Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) has lost control of the religion that follows him, and he faces a potential threat to his throne. Meanwhile, "Avengers: Doomsday" is the movie equivalent of someone throwing all their action figures into one bin, as multiple Marvel superheroes from various universes meet for the first time to battle Dr. Doom (Robert Downey Jr.). Jumping from one to the other would be like media whiplash. 

"Dune: Part 3" will be taking up a vast majority of, if not all, IMAX screens across the U.S. upon its debut, eating away at any chance Disney had to make some extra cash with the marquee event. This led Disney to create the "Infinity Vision" standard, which it says is the best way to view the film. This standard requires a particular brightness with a laser projector, screen size, and audio features embedded into the cinema screening room.

The first film to use Infinity Vision was the "Avengers: Endgame: Encore" re-release, which also hit non-Infinity Vision screens. However, those who didn't make a Disney-approved Infinity Vision screening didn't get the additional scenes that tie the film into the upcoming "Doomsday." 

Pugh is back in "Dune 3" as Princess Irulan Corrino, but also as New Avengers leader, Yelena Belova, the current character to hold the name Black Widow. The actress has been a Marvel mainstay since her introduction in "Black Widow" in 2020, with cameo appearances in "Fantastic Four," "Spider-Man," "Hawkeye," and even the "Marvel Zombies" animated series. "Avengers: Doomsday" will see her take yet another central role, as she did in "Thunderbolts*" just a couple of years ago.
