Jason Momoa has confirmed his return in the upcoming Dune 3, set to start filming in 2025. His character, Duncan Idaho, who died in Dune: Part One, will make a comeback in clone form, as depicted in Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, the source material for Dune 3. In a recent interview, Momoa hinted at the twist and humorously remarked that viewers who haven't read the books shouldn't blame him for the spoilers, emphasizing the connection between the adaptation and its literary roots. The eagerly awaited film is scheduled for a 2026 release and will see the return of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and other key cast members.

Will Dune 3 include elements from the Dune Messiah novel?

Yes, Dune 3 will draw from Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, incorporating key plot points such as the return of Duncan Idaho in clone form, thus continuing the narrative established in the previous films.

Dune is a science fiction franchise based on the novels by Frank Herbert, with the first two films directed by Denis Villeneuve exploring the complex themes of politics, religion, and ecology on the desert planet of Arrakis. The story follows Paul Atreides as he navigates the treacherous waters of interstellar politics and personal destiny, setting the stage for deeper explorations in the forthcoming Dune 3.
