The 16-year-old actor – who is the son of Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet – is set to appear alongside Ida Brooke as Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and Chani’s (Zendaya) twins Leto II and Ghanima, Deadline has said.

Dune: Messiah will mark Nakoa-Wolf’s cinematic debut and will see him appear on-screen with his father – who will be playing Duncan Idaho – while Brooke has been seen in Apple’s sci-fi drama Silo and the 2024 BBC series The Primrose Railway Children.

Dune: Messiah – which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve – will be based on author Frank Herbert’s 1969 novel of the same name, and will follow Paul Atreides (Chalamet) 12 years into his rule as Emperor of the Known Universe while his reign is engulfed with political conspiracies and moral dilemmas.

As prophecy collides with power, Paul must confront the cost of becoming a messiah.

Dune: Messiah will see the return of Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan, Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Jessica, Javier Bardem’s Stilgar, and Josh Brolin’s Gurney Halleck.

Robert Pattinson is also said to be in the running for the antagonist role of Scytale – a Face Dancer and secret agent of the Bene Tleilax who plays a central role in Dune: Messiah as part of a conspiracy to overthrow Paul Atreides.

The film is set to start shooting this summer, and is expected to hit screens in December 2026.
