Jason Momoa on son Nakoa-Wolf's Dune 3 debut: 'He's going to be way better than I've ever been'
Actor Jason Momoa is beaming with pride as his 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa prepares to make his acting debut in 'Dune 3,' the final installment of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi trilogy. Speaking at the premiere of his OTT series 'Chief of War,' Momoa shared that while he initially resisted the idea of his son entering the industry, he now believes Nakoa-Wolf will surpass him. Jason Momoa says his son did it on his own According to a report in Entertainment Tonight, Jason Momoa shared that his son expressed interest in acting, but he initially discouraged him, telling him he couldn't act and wouldn't be part of the industry. However, his son pursued it on his own and proved his dedication. Momoa admitted that his son is already showing signs of being a better actor than him and added that, like him, the boy is loud—something they have in common. He expressed pride in seeing his child follow his passion and push forward independently. Momoa's comments reflect a mix of disbelief, admiration, and emotional acceptance of his son's decision to follow in his footsteps. The actor also joked about shooing his son away during red carpet interviews. Nakoa-Wolf reportedly cast as Leto II Atreides While the studio has yet to officially confirm the role, multiple sources suggest Nakoa-Wolf will play Leto II, the son of Paul Atreides played by Timothée Chalamet and Chani played by Zendaya, in 'Dune: Messiah.' His twin sister Ghanima will reportedly be portrayed by Ida Brooke, marking a generational shift in the franchise's narrative arc. A legacy passed on through the sands of Arrakis Momoa previously played Duncan Idaho, the loyal swordmaster to 'House Atreides,' in Dune of the year 2021. Though his character met a tragic end, Duncan remains a fan favorite. In Dune 3, Momoa returns as the character Hayt, which is a clone of Duncan Idaho, as it is reintroduced to Paul Atreides as part of the Messiah storyline. The father-son casting adds another meaningful layer to the franchise, which symbolized continuity at a generational level and emotional depth. As Denis Villeneuve adapts 'Dune: Messiah,' the emergence of new characters like Leto II and Ghanima signals a shift toward legacy, prophecy, and transformation.

Actor Silambarasan provides financial help to late stuntman SM Raju's family after tragic accident on 'Vettuvam' set
In a deeply moving act of solidarity, actor Silambarasan TR has quietly provided financial support to the family of veteran stuntman SM Raju, who tragically lost his life while performing a dangerous car stunt on the set of 'Vettuvam', directed by Pa. Ranjith. Despite having no involvement in the film, Silambarasan's gesture has touched hearts across the Tamil film industry. The fatal incident occurred on July 13, 2025 during the filming of a high-risk action sequence. While preliminary reports suggest that basic safety protocols were in place, the accident has reignited urgent discussions about the safety and welfare of stunt performers, who often risk their lives for on-screen spectacle. Silambarasan's contribution came to light during an emotional interview with renowned stunt choreographer Silva Master, who praised the actor not only for his timely financial aid but also for his ongoing charitable efforts, often carried out without fanfare. 'Silambarasan didn't have anything to do with the film, but he stepped in for the family without any publicity,' said Silva. 'It's not the first time he's done something like this. He always helps quietly, from the heart.' SM Raju's death has sent shockwaves through the industry, and condolences have been pouring in from actors, technicians, and fans alike. Legal proceedings have also been initiated under sections 289, 125, and 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) against director Pa. Ranjith, stunt coordinator Vinoth, Rajkamal from Neelam Productions, and vehicle owner Prabhakaran. While the production of 'Vettuvam', which stars Arya in the lead role, is currently under review pending investigation, the tragic loss has highlighted systemic gaps in on-set safety — particularly for stunt artists who often go under-recognised despite their life-threatening work. Meanwhile, Silambarasan TR, last seen in 'Thug Life' directed by Mani Ratnam, is currently working on 'STR49', a highly anticipated collaboration with director Vetri Maaran set within the Vada Chennai universe. Though not a direct sequel, the project has garnered considerable buzz among fans.
