Jason Momoa Shaves Beard for First Time in 6 Years to Become DUNE: PART THREE’s Duncan Idaho

The article confirms that Dune: Part Three is officially in development with Legendary Entertainment, with director Denis Villeneuve set to complete his trilogy. The film will be an adaptation of Frank Herbert's second novel in the series, Dune Messiah.

Here are the key takeaways from the article:

• Story and Source Material: The film will adapt Dune Messiah, which takes place 12 years after the events of Dune. It depicts Paul Atreides as a reluctant and tragic Emperor, trapped by his prescient visions. His rule has unleashed a bloody holy war across the galaxy, and he faces conspiracies from the Bene Gesserit, the Spacing Guild, and the Tleilaxu. Villeneuve has stated he sees this story as a crucial "epilogue" that acts as a warning against charismatic leaders and corrects any interpretation of Paul as a traditional hero.
• Cast and Crew:
• Denis Villeneuve will return to direct, and he has mentioned the screenplay is "almost finished."
• Hans Zimmer is expected to return as the composer and has reportedly already started writing music.
• Key cast members like Timothée Chalamet (Paul), Zendaya (Chani), and Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica) are expected to return.
• Anya Taylor-Joy, who had a secret cameo as the adult Alia, is expected to have a significant role.
• Plot Focus: The story of Dune Messiah is darker and more political. It centers on Paul's struggle with his immense power and the horrific consequences of his "jihad." A central plot involves a conspiracy to dethrone him, which includes a "ghola" (a clone) of his deceased mentor, Duncan Idaho.
• Release Date: There is no official release date yet. Villeneuve has expressed a desire to take a break and possibly direct another film before returning to Arrakis, so the movie is likely still several years away.
