Ahead of filming Dune: Part Three, Jason Momoa shared a video of himself shaving his beard for the first time in six years to get back into character.

Momoa said the last time he shaved was for filming the original “Dune” movie.

“Only for you, Denis,” said Momoa in the video, referring to filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, but then added: “Goddamnit! I hate it.”

Momoa starred as Duncan Idaho in the first “Dune” movie and he’d be back for the upcoming sequel after sitting out “Dune: Part Two.” Duncan is the sword-master and mentor to Paul Artreides (Timothee Chalamet) in “Dune,” but the character sacrifices himself near the end of the film to allow Paul and his mother, Jessica, to escape from Sardaukar soldiers. In Herbert’s books, Duncan eventually returns in the form of a clone. It’s unclear if Villeneuve is taking a similar direction for “Dune: Part Three,” but Momoa is returning.

“A rude awakening is what he’s in for,” Momoa rold Extra about his son’s “Dune” casting. “He’s into the workforce for the first time. It’s going to be good. He did it on his own. I don’t want to help him, and he’s done it all on his own, and good for him.”

“Dune: Part Three” is expected to arrive in theaters in December 2026 from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment.
