They say “like father, like son,” and in the case of Jason Momoa and his 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf, that couldn’t be more true. In some very cool casting news, it turns out Nakoa-Wolf is stepping into the spotlight and right onto the set of one of the biggest sci-fi franchises of the decade. Yup, he's officially making his acting debut in the Dune universe.
According to Deadline, Nakoa-Wolf—Momoa’s son with ex-wife Lisa Bonet—has been cast in the next installment of the Dune saga, and he won’t be navigating the set alone. He’ll star alongside his dad, who’s reprising his fan-favorite role as Duncan Idaho. Nakoa-Wolf will play Leto II, the son of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya).
Can I take a second to talk about how much Nakoa is starting to look more like his dad? From the long, curly brown hair to the strong features (yes, the nose too), the resemblance is uncanny. There’s no mistaking that these two are 100% related.
