Meanwhile, let’s take a look at how Frank Herbert had already revealed a way of bringing back the deceased, 55 years ago, with his 1969 novel –Dune Messiah.

In the book, Duncan doesn’t regain his lost memories immediately, but he does play a significant role in the story. Although,Dune: Part Twomade massive changes to the storyline, the third installment which is set to be adapted fromDune Messiahmust include Duncan, for he plays an essential role in the novels. Therefore, whileDune 2could do away without Jason Momoa, his appearance inDune 3is a must.

This particular revelation gives a ray of hope to fans as it offers a way to bring back Jason Momoa. While the actor will be more than happy to appear in whatever wayDune 3brings Duncan back, it’s only a matter of time to see howDenis Villeneuvesets the story.
