Essentially the most hilariously named character in all of Dune-dom is about to return to the Dune–iverse. That is proper, of us: Duncan Idaho himself, a.ok.a. Jason Momoa, is allegedly set to reprise his character within the third installment of Denis Villeneuve‘s trilogy of movies, at present titled Dune: Messiah. It is a massive deal should you’re a fan of the films and/or the Frank Herbert novels, as a result of — if true — it might primarily verify {that a} very wild character arc from the books is coming to the large display. Particularly when you think about the truth that Momoa wasn’t within the final movie.
It is a captivating prospect that units up what is claimed to be Villeneuve’s final Dune movie (regardless of rumors that Warner Bros. is engaged on a fourth installment regardless) in an enormous manner, however one which — if we defined — would completely spoil some main plot factors. Which we’re 100% going to do should you learn on! However simply be warned now. Oh, yeah, and should you in some way did not watch Dune or Dune: Half Two, possibly additionally do not learn on, both, as a result of we’re about to spoil the top of that movie as nicely.

Shock! Denis Villeneuve seems to be manner forward of schedule on ‘Dune: Half Three.’
So Wait: How Is Duncan Idaho Going To Be In The Subsequent ‘Dune’ Movie?
When you’ve seen Dune: Half Two, you most likely bear in mind how Duncan Idaho wasn’t in it — largely as a result of he died within the first movie in a really dramatic trend (whereas saving Paul Atreides’ life). And if you have not learn the books, you might be pondering to your self, ‘however wait: how can Duncan Idaho be within the new film when he is already died within the first one?’ To which we are saying: ah, sure! You have to be unfamiliar with the gholas of the Herbert books.
See, within the books, Duncan Idaho is actually introduced again to life as a ghola — primarily a clone created from some type of genetic materials gathered from the human after its loss of life. These gholas don’t carry the reminiscences of the individual they have been earlier than (nicely…not but no less than), however look identical to them, and are arguably created as a method for these to mourn their misplaced family members. However Duncan Idaho (his is a reputation that begs you to say it in full) shouldn’t be like different gholas.
Duncan Idaho turns into one thing singular and virtually god-like in his immortality after changing into a ghola. He was made by the Bene Tleilax, and gifted to Paul Atreides with the title Hayt after being educated as a Mentat and a Zensunni thinker. He’s loyal to Home Atreides your complete time (after managing to reawaken his former life’s reminiscences — changing into the primary ghola to take action, in reality).
There may be one teensy, tiny, itty, bitty, teeny-weeny little downside, although: Hayt was truly programmed, towards his will, to kill Paul Atreides. This, nonetheless, causes him fairly a little bit of inside battle for causes he can’t perceive (till he will get his reminiscences again). However don’t be concerned an excessive amount of for Hayt/Duncan Idaho: his is a legacy that finally ends up spanning far, far past the years of Paul and Chani, changing into an integral character within the sequence’ many subsequent novels.
So, if this information is true, it may very well be big not only for Dune, but in addition for Momoa and his future within the wider Dune-iverse (sorry, we simply actually love saying Dune-iverse).
