About The Three Musketeers films
Dumas gets remade every generation, from the Gene Kelly MGM version of 1948 through Lester's two-part epic of 1973 and 1974 to the French D'Artagnan and Milady saga of 2023.
Each version retells the same novel on its own, so release order is a tour of changing styles rather than a continuing story.
Good to know
The Lester films and the 2023 French films were each shot as two-part stories, so watch each pair together. No further Musketeers film has been announced as of September 2026.
