Fans Have Thoughts After Jason Momoa’s Son Was Cast In Major Dune 3 Role

BBG News

Jason Momoa, a prominent figure in Hollywood today, has made a significant impact through memorable performances in films such as “A Minecraft Movie”, the “Aquaman” series, and Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune”. Now, it’s his son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, who is gaining recognition, having been chosen for the upcoming film adaptation of “Dune Messiah”.

As is the case with any major casting announcement these days, social media has been going crazy about the son of Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet showing up in one of the key roles in the upcoming sci-fi movie, where he and Ida Brooke will play the twin children – Leto II Atreides and Ghanima Atreides, respectively – of Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya’s characters. In a post by the Entertainment Tonight Instagram account, shortly after news broke in June 2025, fans were quick to comment on the casting with a range of responses.

Users such as ciaran.flynne07 expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of Nakoa-Wolf acting alongside his father, who will reportedly reappear in “Dune 3“.

As a film enthusiast, let me tell you, I can definitely see the resemblance! Jason’s son seems to have a striking similarity with Timothée Chalamet, while Ida Brooke, in my opinion, could easily pass as a relative of Zendaya. Brilliant casting, if you ask me!

Individuals, swiftly turning humor towards concerns about AI replacing actors’ roles and nepotism in the film industry, joined the conversation much like an individual recognized as oddpanout.

It’s ironic that actors are concerned about AI stealing their jobs, when it seems the real danger might be favoritism within the industry, often referred to as ‘nepotism babies’ 😂

As someone well-versed in Dune Messiah, I couldn’t help but notice that Calebjwill seemed to know more than most. Intriguingly, he was quick to share an insightful detail about Paul Atreides’ twins having a significant role in the upcoming threequel.

We’re actually seeing the twins in the movie? Interesting

In Frank Herbert’s 1969 science fiction novel, “Dune Messiah,” unfolds approximately 12 years subsequent to the events depicted in the initial “Dune” saga. Given that Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic adaptation casts a 16-year-old actor named Nakoa-Wolf, it’s possible that the film will feature a considerable time leap. However, there may be ways for the movie to navigate this age discrepancy; we’ll have to wait and see.

Additionally, various memes were circulated following the announcement, one of which skillfully merged a scene from “Back to the Future” with a jest regarding “Dune Messiah” and the ongoing speculation about the sequel “Children of Dune.

The modified Freeman eyeglasses, the quirky nose piece that seems hand-drawn with Microsoft Paint, and the expression on Marty McFly’s face – they all combine to generate a humorous, intelligent, and spot-on internet joke.

A different user, replying to a post by the Denis Villeneuve Universe account, offered a brief yet charming retort, inquiring about the sequential order of events in the Dune film.

These aren’t newborn children sooooo what’s Denis cookin ???

The film appears to have a significant leap forward in time, leaving us uncertain as to how Timothée Chalamet’s character, Paul Atreides, manages to remain youthful despite having almost adult children.

It remains to be seen how things unfold when “Dune Messiah” makes its way to theaters, potentially as early as 2026. This long-awaited epic is said to be scheduled for a December 16, 2026 release, but this coincides with the release date of “Avengers: Doomsday,” directed by the Russo Brothers. If both films are released on the same day, it could result in an unprecedented box office weekend, much like the spectacular summer of Barbenheimer in 2023. Let’s wait and see!
