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

Denis Villeneuve Teases Possible Dune: Part Three Based On Dune Messiah: ‘There Are Words On Paper’ – Exclusive

It's a theme that is different, a hero goes through tragedy, overcomes it and wins. Then realizes what he did was bring mass pain and suffering to achieve it. Dune Messiah would also be a great film.

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
