In a stunning change of events for the highly anticipated “Dune 3,” Jason Momoa’s 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf will make his acting debut. He will star with his father, who is playing Duncan Idaho again. This adds a distinct father-son relationship to the sci-fi epic.
A New Atreides Is Born
Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa will play the important part of Leto II, the son of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya). This is a big deal for the teen because the “Dune” franchise is so well-known. The third movie, which is based on Frank Herbert’s book “Dune Messiah,” will come out on December 16, 2026. It takes place 12 years after the events of “Dune: Part Two.”
A Father’s Point of View
Jason Momoa is really proud of what his son has done. At first, he told Nakoa-Wolf not to pursue acting, but his son’s passion and willingness to go after the part on his own had changed his mind. Momoa thinks Nakoa-Wolf will be a better actor than he is. He makes a funny point about how they both have “loud” personalities.

Jason Momoa is really proud of how his son has become an actor on his own.
Duncan Idaho is back
Duncan Idaho, played by Jason Momoa, died in a horrific way in the first “Dune” movie. But anyone who have read Frank Herbert’s books know that Duncan comes back as a ghola (a clone that has been brought back to life) in the “Dune Messiah” plot. Momoa’s return as Hayt, Duncan Idaho’s ghola, combined with his son’s first appearance, adds an interesting dimension of continuity and emotional depth to the franchise. Nakoa-Wolf is playing Leto II, while Ida Brooke is supposedly playing his twin sister Ghanima. This shows that the story is moving to a new generation and will focus on themes of legacy, prophesy, and change in the “Dune” universe.
