Overview

  • Jason Momoa buzzed off his beard—grown since the 2019 Dune shoot—to kick off pre-production on Dune: Part Three.
  • In an Instagram video he quipped “Only for you, Denis” to director Denis Villeneuve and later exclaimed “Goddamnit! I hate it” as he shaved.
  • The shave served as a launch moment for Mananalu’s collaboration with Boomerang Water, introducing a closed-loop system that sanitizes and bottles water onsite.
  • Momoa confirmed he will reprise his role as swordmaster Duncan Idaho in the December 2026 sequel after sitting out Dune: Part Two.
  • His 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, joins the cast as Leto II, and fans are speculating that the film may resurrect Duncan Idaho in clone form.
