Gather around Dune fans, the little birds of Hollywood bring you some exciting news. If reports are to be believed then Jason Momoa will return to the Dune universe as Duncan Idaho. He will reportedly reprise his role in the third installment of the series, Dune: Messiah.

It sounds like normal Hollywood casting news for those who haven't read the books or watched the movie. But those who are well-versed in the universe must be thrilled right now. Why? Because Duncan Idaho died saving his Duke in the first movie. So, if Jason Momoa died at the beginning of the series, how will he return?

It is a question asked by fans who have only watched the movie, the ones who have read the book must be screaming "As it was written." According to the books, Duncan Idaho will return a Ghola. So, for all those fans who were hoping for some 'Game of Thrones' type of stunt, nothing like that is going to happen.

Ghola or not, the important thing to note here is that Jason Momoa will be returning to the film series. No matter what he is playing, it is enough for the fans to see him cut bad people in half without breaking a sweat, and all the while flashing his thousand-watt smile.
