Nakoa-Wolf will join forces with his father Jason, who reappears as Duncan Idaho in the upcoming movie, even though he was killed off initially. In the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, the character is resurrected as a ghola, an artificially created human, bestowed upon Paul in the storyline.

Talking about his son’s initial acting role, Jason playfully warned him, “I think he’s in for quite a shock,” as he clarified, “It’s his first experience with the working world.

At the Chief of War premiere in Kapolei, Hawaii, Jason expressed to Extra that it’s going to be great because he accomplished it independently. He mentioned that he didn’t offer assistance, but instead, he managed everything single-handedly, which is impressive. Kudos to him!

The star expressed admiration for his son’s abilities and dedication, stating, “I hope my kids surpass me, and honestly, I think he has already done so. I simply can’t accomplish what he does at his current age.

I wouldn’t feel confident conversing with the director of “Dune 3,” Denis Villeneuve, given his impressive stature in the film industry. At 19, I was on “Baywatch”; he’s already making waves working alongside Denis Villeneuve at such a young age.

Jason shares sons Nakoa-Wolf and daughter Lola Iolani with ex-wife Lisa Bonet. Regarding his kids, he added: “We brought them up… It’s essentially about being loved and having self-confidence… That’s who he is. He’s quite confident.

Just last week, enthusiasts of “Dune” were thrilled to learn that filming for the third installment had begun in earnest. This upcoming science fiction movie is based on Frank Herbert’s book, “Dune Messiah.

The much-anticipated release of Dune 3 is scheduled for December 18, 2026. Meanwhile, for those who can’t wait, Dune: Part Two is currently available for purchase on platforms like Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft Store, and more in the UK.
