Jason Momoa Confirms He’ll Be Returning for ‘DUNE 3’
Fans of the Dune franchise have reason to celebrate as Jason Momoa has officially confirmed that he will be returning for Dune 3. The actor, who portrayed the charismatic warrior Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part One, made the announcement during a recent interview, surprising audiences who believed his character had met his fate in the first installment.
Momoa’s return suggests that Dune 3 will delve deeper into Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi saga, potentially exploring Duncan Idaho’s role in later books, where he is revived as a ghola—an artificially recreated version of himself. This revelation aligns with director Denis Villeneuve’s vision to expand the story beyond Dune: Part Two, which is set to be released in 2024.
“I’m beyond excited to step back into the world of Arrakis,” Momoa said. “Denis Villeneuve is crafting something truly special, and I can’t wait for fans to see what’s in store.”
While details about Dune 3 remain under wraps, Momoa’s involvement indicates that the film will continue to adapt Herbert’s expansive narrative, potentially drawing from Dune Messiah, the sequel to the original novel.
With anticipation already building, fans eagerly await more details on the next chapter of Dune, as Villeneuve’s vision for the franchise continues to take shape. Until then, audiences can look forward to Dune: Part Two to set the stage for what’s to come.
