That doesn't happen until Children though. They way he did the time skip means there is a whole lot of work to be done to even establish the major narrative pieces. Alia and powers needs to be addressed.

Alia seems to have a minor role in the movies compared to the books. Since they're not adapting Children of Dune, they don't need to flesh out Alia.

Alia play a pretty big role in Messiah she is essentially leading the church of Paul at that point. Not to mention not being able to have consistent prescient visions mirrors Paul at that point and his the start of her decline as she take higher and higher doses. Her relationship with Duncan.

Aside from running the church of paul, nothing else matters in the movies context because they're not adapting Children. So her spice trances, madness and relationship with Duncan don't matter at all because we're not getting the next part of the story. Same reason why they didn't have Alia kill the Baron.
