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.

Willem Dafoe eyed for Scrooge in Warner Bros. remake of ‘A Christmas Carol'
Nosferatu and The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers is developing a new remake of A Christmas Carol at Warner Bros., with longtime collaborator Willem Dafoe being considered for the iconic role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Sources close to the project report that while no official casting is confirmed, Dafoe — who has worked with Eggers on The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu — is a strong candidate for the lead. Their established working relationship and creative chemistry make his involvement likely. This adaptation of A Christmas Carol, based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella, marks Eggers' first collaboration with Warner Bros. The director is currently committed to directing Werwulf for Focus Features before turning his attention to the Dickens classic. Eggers is known for his dark, visually rich storytelling style, which has redefined horror and historical fiction in modern cinema. With this upcoming A Christmas Carol remake, Warner Bros. appears poised to offer a darker, more psychological take on the well-worn holiday tale. The beloved Dickens story has seen countless adaptations over the decades, featuring characters like Scrooge McDuck, The Muppets, and even Barbie. Directors such as Robert Zemeckis and Richard Donner have previously reimagined the tale for the screen. Eggers' version, however, is expected to lean into the eerie and gothic tone of the original novella. More updates on casting and production are expected as the project develops. If confirmed, Dafoe's Scrooge could become one of the most intriguing interpretations of the character in recent film history.
