Jason Momoa on working in Dune: Never been part of something so big

Momoa told Ellen Degeneres, “I have never been part of something so big. I get to play this character Duncan Idaho, who is kind of a master swordsman. He is made the right-hand man to Duke Leto, played by Oscar Isaac. He is the first person to be sent out to land on Dune, and that’s when I meet the character that Javier Bardem plays.”

He added, “I can’t believe I had a scene with Javier Bardem! It’s him and Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, and Stellan Skarsgård. It’s a pretty massive film and I get to be this little—he’s kind of the Han Solo-esque of the group. He’s kind of the rogue warrior who protects Timothée Chalamet and he serves Oscar Isaac.”
