Jason Momoa says you haven't seen anything yet from Timothee Chalamet: "Wait until you see him in Dune 3… I'm serious"

Fresh off his Oscars 2026 nomination for Best Actor in Marty Supreme, Timothée Chalamet is being championed by Dune co-star Jason Momoa for his work in the Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi threequel.

"Wait until you see him in Dune 3," Momoa told Flip Your Wig. "Maybe some of the best stuff I've seen him do – ever. I'm serious. Tape this interview, write this shit down, I don't give a fuck."

Momoa is set to return as Duncan Idaho despite his character's fate in the first movie for Dune 3 – which wrapped filming back in November.

"I don't want to say too much. But what I will say is Denis' been so incredibly spot on about realizing the challenge. I mean, a lot of the creative conversations Denis and I had – which are really his creative corner, and worldview and script development that I really have little to do with – were well aware of the challenges of making a third film."

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
