Jason Momoa's Son Nakoa-Wolf Lands Star Role in Dune 3: The Young Talent to Watch!
Dune Fever Hits High Gear: Jason Momoa's Son Lands Coveted Role in Upcoming Third Film!
Get ready for a familial frenzy like no other, as Hollywood heartthrob Jason Momoa's 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf is about to make his big-screen debut in the highly anticipated third installment of Denis Villeneuve's critically acclaimed Dune franchise!
According to the latest scoop from thescholarlynote.com, Nakoa-Wolf will be playing the role of Leto II, one half of the twin siblings born to Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides and Zendaya's Chani. And if that's not enough excitement for you, his on-screen sister Ghanima will be played by newcomer Ida Brooke!
But here's the juiciest part: Nakoa-Wolf's proud papa, Jason Momoa, 45, is also returning to the franchise as Duncan Idaho, a character who met a dramatic demise in the first film only to be resurrected as a clone in Frank Herbert's iconic six-book series. Talk about a family affair!
Momoa, who recently made waves at the Cannes Film Festival, shares his son and daughter Lola (almost 18) with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, 57. It's clear that this talented trio is ready to take the world of Dune by storm!
Meanwhile, production on the third film is gearing up to begin as early as next month, with a hoped-for December 2026 release date. If all goes according to plan, we can expect an epic continuation of Paul Atreides' journey, set 12 years after the events of the second film.
So, what's the plot? Well, it seems that Atreides is struggling to come to terms with the consequences of his Fremen-led jihad upon his ascension to Emperor Muad'Dib. Think epic battles, intense drama, and plenty of intergalactic intrigue!
Rounding out the cast will be Robert Pattinson, who's rumored to be in talks to play a villainous role – but don't quote us just yet, folks! As for Brooke, she's had small parts in Silo on AppleTV+ and The Primrose Railway Children. Keep an eye out for her star-making turn as Ghanima!
In other news, Jason Momoa will be keeping busy with his upcoming AppleTV+ series Chief of War, where he'll play the title character – a Hawaiian war chief hell-bent on uniting warring islands against the threat of colonization.
The first episode drops August 1, followed by a weekly upload through September 19. With Nakoa-Wolf's Dune debut and Momoa's action-packed series just around the corner, it's shaping up to be an incredible summer for this talented family!
And if you're wondering what all the fuss is about, just look at the numbers: Dune: Part 1 earned over $410 million globally, while Dune: Part 2 pulled in a whopping $710 million. That's a whole lotta box office magic!
