Jason Momoa Shaves Beard for Dune: Part Three

Jason Momoa has shaved his beard for the first time since 2019 to prepare for his return as Duncan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune: Part Three,' after sitting out 'Dune: Part Two.' The new film, scheduled for release in December 2026, is expected to adapt elements from Frank Herbert's 'Dune Messiah.' Momoa expressed humorous regret over the clean-shaven look, stating he did it specifically for Villeneuve. His son, Nakoa-Wolf, will join the cast as Leto II in his first professional acting role, a milestone his father publicly praised. The film also sees the return of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh. Momoa continues to promote his sustainability-focused water brand Mananalu, advocating for environmental responsibility alongside his acting career.
