Dune 3 casts Jason Momoa’s son and it could be a big spoiler

by

Dune 3 has recently introduced two key characters to its ensemble, hinting at how Denis Villeneuve might adapt not a single, but _two_ novels.

It’s important to note that the title for Dune 3 has yet to be officially confirmed. Some possibilities include “Dune: Part Three” or, as some fans suspect, it might be named “Dune: Messiah”, which is the title of Frank Herbert’s second novel in the series.

As a gamer, let me share some exciting news: the upcoming adaptation of the novel might not follow a traditional path. According to Nexus Point News, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, son of Jason Momoa (who’s set to reprise his role as Duncan Idaho), and Ida Brooke have been roped in to play Leto II and Ghanima respectively.

For an uninitiated viewer of Dune, these names might not carry much weight yet – however, their selection in the cast suggests significant developments ahead, beware of major spoilers…

Dune 3 could mix Messiah and Children of Dune

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share that in Herbert’s extraordinary novel, Dune, I found myself captivated by the characters of Leto II and Ghanima. Interestingly enough, they are the twins born from the union of Paul Atreides, portrayed brilliantly by Timothée Chalamet, and his beloved partner Chani, who was brought to life beautifully by Zendaya on screen.

In the upcoming ‘Dune 3’, Jason Momoa, also known as Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, and Ida Brooke are set to play Leto II and Ghanima respectively. They will portray the twin children of Paul Atreides and Chani in this production (as reported by Nexus Point News).

In the story, the characters are first encountered as newborns following Chani’s death during childbirth, and they don’t reappear until the sequel titled “Children of Dune.” During Paul’s absence, Alia (portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy) assumes the role of regent for the universe in a temporary leadership position – I won’t disclose any information about what ultimately happens to him.

According to Nexus Point News, the upcoming movie is expected to reveal the twins as teenagers, possibly through a leap in time. Specifics about this time leap are still undisclosed, but they might suggest that Villeneuve is significantly altering the storyline to include aspects from the book “Children of Dune.

The plot of Children of Dune becomes quite unusual, and it’s unclear just how deeply Villeneuve might delve into its narrative. However, it’s evident that while Dune 3 will mark the conclusion of his work on the series, he’s keen to ensure that the story doesn’t simply stop when he departs.

As a gamer, I’d want to ensure that when I dive into Messiah, there are opportunities for future exploration, as the game’s intricate details are like turning pages in a captivating book. I shared this with Vanity Fair.

They are becoming increasingly complex to understand and apply. They’re moving towards being highly specialized or obscure knowledge. It might be a challenge to implement them, but I’m not ruling out the possibility. While I may not personally take on this task, it could still be done by someone else.
