Nakoa-Wolf Momoa & Ida Brooke Join ‘Dune 3’ As Twin Children Of Paul Atreides
This casting raises so many questions for me. Does this imply we are not getting a Children of Dune movie? Surely they wouldn’t cast an actor with no experience to play Leto II, a (if not the) main character of CoD. Unless, for CoD, they intend to use actors who are the same age as the book’s Ghanima and Leto II - meaning Momoa and Brooke are from a future where God Emperor doesn’t happen? I trust Villeneuve, but I don’t quite get it. More on reddit.com

I think Villeneuve collaborator Benicio Del Toro is due for another appearance. I could see him as Scytale. More on reddit.com

[SPOILERS] Theories on Characters Roles in Dune Part III
I assume they make Alia age fast enough to be a young adult and say “the spice accelerated her growth” so the ages of the actors line up. If Dune 3 is gonna be the end of the films it’s gonna have to be like 5 hours to give the story justice. If we get a crazy time jump and Dune 3 is more Children of Dune instead of Dune Messiah that would be amazing but we will have to wait and see. More on reddit.com

Denis Villeneuve Says ‘Dune 3’ Script Is ‘Almost Finished,’ but ‘For My Mental Sanity I Might Do Something’ Else In Between
Hasn’t he said already he wants the cast to age a bit before doing Dune Messiah? I’m sure they’re open to recasting whoever they got to play Alia, but Chalamet and Zendaya both need to look as if a decade has passed and they’ve gone from teenagers to adults between movies. Chalamet in particular, since I’ve seen Zendaya look more mature in red carpet/modeling stuff but I’ve never seen Timmy look any older than he does in Dune. More on reddit.com

Villeneuve offered a cryptic answer as to how he would deal with the time jump. Check out his response below: That’s my problem. I know how to do that.

r/dune on Reddit: Nakoa-Wolf Momoa & Ida Brooke Join ‘Dune 3’ As Twin Children Of Paul Atreides
June 17, 2025 - They hid the Alia casting until the last minute. Since this is not that, it makes me wonder if Chani was pregnant at the end of 2 and Paul learns of them at the end. ... With the end of Dune 2 and the changes to Chani, I don't see how it's possible that Messiah couldn't deviate massively. That said, I think Denis has earned enough good will from the first two movies that we ought to assume he has a good reason until proven otherwise. ... Yeah Part 2 already massively deviated from the book.

October 31, 2025 - It's certainly not out of the question, but it also might detract from the reason for casting Pattinson in the first place. As of now, this is still the leading option, but it's worth theorizing about other compelling ideas. Character: Edric is a Spacing Guild Navigator who is among the villains in Dune Messiah.
