Jason Momoa is Back and Shaving!

In a surprising twist for fans, Jason Momoa has shed his iconic beard, gearing up for his role as Duncan Idaho in the highly anticipated film ‘Dune: Part Three.’ For the first time in six years, the actor documented his shaving journey, a significant event since his last shave was for the original ‘Dune’ movie.

A Nod to Denis Villeneuve

Momoa humorously dedicated his shave to director Denis Villeneuve, exclaiming in his video, “Only for you, Denis!” However, he quickly followed up with, “Goddamnit! I hate it,” revealing his displeasure about parting with the facial hair fans have come to love.

What’s Next for Duncan Idaho?

Returning as the sword-master and mentor to Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet), Duncan Idaho met a tragic fate in the first film. Though his character succumbed to ensure Paul and his mother Jessica could escape, fans are eager to see how Villeneuve navigates Duncan’s future—especially considering the character's intriguing fate in Frank Herbert's books where he eventually reappears as a clone.

Exciting New Faces and Returning Favorites

‘Dune: Part Three’ promises to bring back fan favorites like Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh while introducing new talent. Notably, Momoa’s son, Nakoa-Wolf, joins the cast as Leto II, along with ‘Silo’ star Ida Brooke, who will portray Ghanima. It’s a remarkable family affair!

Dad's High Hopes for His Son

In a recent interview, Momoa expressed pride in his son’s casting, saying, “He’s entering the workforce for the first time. It’s going to be good. He’s done this all on his own, and I’m proud of him.” The dedicated dad went on to reflect, “You want your children to be better than you, and I really believe he is. I wasn’t ready for something this big at his age.”

Mark your calendars: ‘Dune: Part Three’ is set to hit theaters in December 2026, promising to continue the epic saga with thrilling twists and heartfelt performances!
