Dune<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

Jason Momoa has addressed his son’s recent casting in the upcoming Dune 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nakoa-Wolf Momoa will reportedly be playing Leto II, the son of Paul Atreides (Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a>) and Chani (Zendaya). The actor will star opposite Ida Brooke, who will play Leto’s twin sister Ghanima. <\/p>\n

Nakoa-Wolf will also be starring alongside his father Jason, who is returning as Duncan Idaho<\/a>, despite being killed off in the first movie. In Frank Herbert’s Dune<\/a> books, the character is brought back as an artificially created human, known as a ghola, as a gift to Paul.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his son’s acting debut, Jason joked that the teenager is “in for a rude awakening”, before explaining: “He’s into the workforce for the first time.”<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be good. He did it on his own,” Jason told Extra<\/a> at the Chief of War premiere in Kapolei, Hawaii. “I don’t want to help him, and he’s done it all on his own, and good for him.”<\/p>\n

The star went on to praise his son’s talent and work ethic, sharing: “You want your children to be better than you, and I really, actually believe he is. I couldn’t do what he’s doing at his age.”<\/p>\n

“There’s no way I could sit in a room with [Dune 3 director] Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on Baywatch at 19. He’s 16 and holding shit down with Denis Villeneuve.”<\/p>\n

Jason shares Nakoa-Wolf and daughter Lola Iolani with ex-wife Lisa Bonet. Speaking about his children, he continued: “We raised our children\u2026 It’s just, you know, being loved and being confident in themselves\u2026 That is what he is. He’s very confident.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Dune fans received an exciting update<\/a>, confirming that production on the third movie was officially under way. The sci-fi threequel will be adapted from Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah book. <\/p>\n

Dune 3 will be released on December 18, 2026. Dune: Part Two is available to buy in the UK from Prime Video<\/a>, iTunes<\/a>, Microsoft Store<\/a> and more.
