The cast of the highly anticipated third entry in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune  saga continues to grow as the film has found its twins. Sources tell Nexus Point News that Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke are set to portray Leto II and Ghanima, respectively. Momoa and Brooke will portray the twin children of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya). As reported by NPN in April, the film was set to introduce the twins as teens in this film during a time jump.

Momoa, the son of actor Jason Momoa, will be making his acting debut in Dune   3 , and will be acting opposite his father. Jason Momoa will be reprising his role as Duncan Idaho who returns as a ghola, created by Scytale (Robert Pattinson). Brooke is best known for her roles in Silo  and The Primrose Railway Children .
