Jason Momoa Reflects on Getting Beat Up by Timothée Chalamet in Dune: Part 3
Jason Momoa, if you hadn't noticed, is a much bigger man than Timothée Chalamet. In Dune: Part 3, however, size doesn’t matter.
In Dune: Part 3, Jason Momoa plays Duncan Idaho, a character who is portrayed as a clone of his previous incarnation from Dune: Part 1. Idaho and Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, had a close friendship in Part 1 but their relationship becomes strained in Part 3. The fight scene between Idaho and Atreides is a result of Atreides' overpowering strength as a fighter, which Momoa had to overcome during their scenes together.
Chalamet acknowledged that Momoa is a better fighter, but also a better actor. The film is set to release on December 18, 2026, with early IMAX preview screenings beginning on December 14, 2026.
