In the 2021 film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel “Dune,” directed by Denis Villeneuve, Jason Momoa portrayed Duncan Idaho. Duncan Idaho is a steadfast swordmaster and mentor to Paul Atreides, heir of House Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet. In the movie, Duncan Idaho manages to survive the initial attack on House Atreides’ stronghold on Arrakis, but ultimately sacrifices himself in a valiant stand against several laser-armed Sardaukar soldiers, allowing Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica Atreides, to flee to a hidden Fremen outpost. The third installment of the trilogy, titled “Dune: Messiah,” continues the story with Paul now as Emperor, struggling with the widespread impact of the religious conflict ignited in his name across the universe.
