Jason Momoa Returns as Hayt, a Ghola of Duncan Idaho, in Dune: Part Three
- Jason Momoa returns in Dune: Part Three as Hayt, a ghola (genetically engineered replica) of Duncan Idaho, who died in Part One after sacrificing himself against Sardaukar soldiers so Paul and Lady Jessica could survive.
- Momoa told Empire that returning in a new form was nerve-racking because he had signed on to play Duncan, not a different character, but he is waiting for the role to feel like his own so he can "unleash hell on everyone."
- According to Empire, Paul is now a feared Emperor, so Hayt's relationship with him differs sharply from the bond Duncan had with the young Paul.
- Dune: Part Three opens in cinemas on December 18, and Empire's December 2026 issue, on sale October 22, carries its full cover story with interviews including Villeneuve, Chalamet, and Zendaya.
