Jason Momoa
's son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, is set to join the cast of Dune 3, alongside his father, reported Deadline. Actress Ida Brooke will also be part of the film.
As per Deadline, in the new film from Warner Bros.
and Legendary, the pair, Nakoa-Wolf and Brooke, will play Leto II and Ghanima, the twin offspring of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and Ch(Zendaya), born after the events of the original Frank Herbert novel.
This project marks Nakoa-Wolf Momoa's big-screen debut. He is expected to join his father, Jason Momoa, who will play a resurrected ghola of Duncan Idaho, according to the outlet.
Like Nakoa-Wolf, Brooke is a relative newcomer who has previously appeared only in Apple's sci-fi drama Silo and the film 'The Primrose Railway Children.'
According to Deadline, Chalamet and Zendaya are just two of the cast members expected to return for the next Dune film, though a formal announcement on others has yet to be made.
Earlier this year, Robert Pattinson reportedly entered talks for a villain role in the threequel.
Dune is Legendary's expansive, multi-format sci-fi universe based on the Hugo Award-winning novel series by Frank Herbert, which has so far spawned two hit films: 2021's Dune: Part One and last year's Dune: Part Two, both from filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.
The film earned a combined 1.12 billion USD at the global box office and won eight Oscars from 15 nominations, including Best Picture nominations for both, according to Deadline.
The universe's most recent entry is the prequel TV series Dune: Prophecy, set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, which premiered on Max in November and has been renewed for a second season.
It's expected that Villeneuve's third and final Dune film will adapt Herbert's novel Dune Messiah, set 12 years after the events of Dune, which follows Atreides' struggles with the consequences of his Fremen-led jihad upon his ascension to Emperor Muad'Dib.
A release date and official title for the new film haven't yet been disclosed.

After actor Ethan Embry 's casting in 'Scream 7' was announced in February, he recalled auditioning for the original 1996 Wes Craven-helmed teen slasher film that launched the popular horror franchise, reported Deadline. "The one thing that I can tell about Scream 7 was that it was absolutely incredible to be invited," he said, adding, "That is a lovely community of people, from the very beginning to what it is now. And I've been wanting to be a part of that franchise since the very beginning." Embry added, "I remember auditioning for Scream 1. I can't remember if it was for Jamie Kennedy's Randy or Matthew Lillard's Stu. It was one of those. But I remember not getting good feedback from Mr. Craven, " as per the outlet.

"We wouldn't be able to make that now": Danny Boyle on 'Slumdog Millionaire'
Filmmaker may have won a best picture Oscar for his 2008 film 'Slumdog Millionaire', but the director believes they wouldn't be able to make that film in present time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 28 Years Later director reflected on the Oscar-winning film that starred and . "Yeah, we wouldn't be able to make that now," he said of the film. "And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world," as per the outlet. When asked whether the production itself amounted to a form of colonialism, the director denied that but added, "Well, only in the sense that everything is. At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be." Boyle shared thae he is "proud of the film" but noted, "You wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn't even get financed. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian film-maker to shoot it," according to The Hollywood Reporter. At the time, 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a box office hit and went on to earn 10 Oscar nominations and win eight Academy Awards at the 2009 ceremony. Boyle won for best director. On Friday, Boyle returns to theaters with 28 Years Later, a sequel that arrives more than twenty years after he and writer revitalized the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
