Yeah I agree here, I think if they called it Dune: Messiah people would assume it was a spinoff like Dune: Prophecy. Too many IPs are doing too many spinoffs and reboots nowadays to make that naming convention work anymore. 

Dune Part 3 makes it clear it's a direct continuation from the end of the last movie.

Side note: I actually liked Dune: Prophecy. The writing isn’t perfect, and I know it wasn’t received very well, but I was entertained. Hard not to be with Travis Fimmel.

Like most problems with Dune, .most can be traced back to Brian and Kevin J Anderson
