"He is welcomed": Wholesome memes and reactions erupt as Jason Momoa confirms his return in ‘DUNE 3’

Jason Momoa is officially back for Dune 3, and fans are losing their minds in the best way possible. Duncan Idaho, the universe’s most employable man, has somehow found a way to return again.

For those who haven’t read the books (or even seen Dune: Part Two), let’s just say that Duncan Idaho has more lives than a malfunctioning video game character. Naturally, the internet is celebrating his comeback with memes, jokes, and a collective agreement that, yes, this man (Jason Momoa) has job security for eternity.

Jason Momoa confirms he is returning for ‘DUNE 3’

The news of Jason Momoa’s return came straight from the man himself, who shared an Instagram post with the caption: “If you didn’t read the books, it’s not my fault.” A bold move, considering director Denis Villeneuve himself has admitted to never fully reading the source material.

Still, the post took off like a sandworm on spice. Fans flooded the comments like " he is welcomed" with jokes, welcoming him back with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for long-lost relatives who return with souvenirs. The excitement was so overwhelming that even people who didn’t know he was in Dune to begin with started celebrating.

One user summed it up perfectly

“Hey, Villeneuve didn’t, why should anyone else be expected to?”

Truly, if the man behind the movies didn’t feel the need to do all his homework, who are we to judge anyone for being surprised that Jason Momoa is back?

Another fan saw through the obvious: “I think we all know he’s going to be returning more than once.”

At this point, Duncan Idaho is less of a character and more of a contractual obligation. If there’s a Dune 4, Dune 5, or even Dune: The Musical, expect to see him there, probably dual-wielding knives and flipping his hair in slow motion.

“This guy has a job for the rest of his life. Or lives, I guess…”

said another commenter, who understands that Duncan’s survival rate is currently higher than most franchises themselves.

A sci-fi purist demanded:

“Show us the crazy steel robot eyes though.”

For those who know, they know. And for those who don’t just wait. If Dune 3 stays faithful to the books, things are about to get very cyberpunk.

Meanwhile, someone admitted:

“I didn’t even know this guy was in the film 💀.”

You have to respect the honesty. Some people just show up for Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and the vibes, not necessarily to keep track of which characters are making grand re-entries.

Jason Momoa’s return as Duncan Idaho isn’t just another casting announcement; it’s a promise. A promise that no matter how many times this character meets his end, he’ll be back, knives in hand, hair looking majestic, and probably cracking a joke or two.

And honestly? The internet wouldn’t have it any other way. Welcome back, Duncan. Again.
