Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke join Dune 3 as Paul Atreides’ twin children

Newcomer Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Silo actress Ida Brooke have officially joined the cast of Dune 3, Deadline has confirmed.

The two young stars are set to play Leto II and Ghanima Atreides, the twin children of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya), expanding the next chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic based on Frank Herbert’s acclaimed novels.

This marks the big-screen debut of Nakoa-Wolf, son of actor Jason Momoa, who is also expected to return in Dune 3 as a resurrected version (ghola) of Duncan Idaho. Brooke, who has appeared in Apple TV+’s Silo and The Primrose Railway Children, is a rising talent making her franchise debut.

Dune 3, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, is expected to adapt Herbert’s novel Dune Messiah, set 12 years after Dune. It follows Emperor Paul Atreides as he grapples with the consequences of his Fremen-led holy war. A formal cast announcement is still pending, though Chalamet and Zendaya are expected to return, and Robert Pattinson was previously reported to be in talks for a villain role.

The Dune film series has been a massive success, earning over $1.1 billion globally and securing eight Oscars across two films. With Dune: Prophecy, the prequel Max series, already renewed for a second season, the Dune universe continues to expand on both big and small screens.

No release date or official title for Dune 3 has been announced.
