Who is Nakoa-Wolf Momoa? New Dune Cast And Jason Momoa's Son - Age, Mother And What We Know

It seems acting runs in the family for Jason Momoa and his brood. The Aquaman star's son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, has started to follow in his father's footsteps after getting cast in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three. The upcoming film also stars Jason, who is reprising his role as Duncan Idaho.

Dune: Part Three will mark Nakoa-Wolf's acting debut. And of course, no one is prouder of the young star than his dad.

Who Is Nakoa-Wolf Momoa?

Nakoa-Wolf is the youngest of Jason's brood. The Aquaman star shares the 16-year-old teen with ex-wife, Lisa Bonet, along with his older sister, Lola. And while Nakoa-Wolf has attended red carpet events with his famous parents (and sister) in the past, he's mostly lived his life away from the spotlight. That said, this hasn't stopped Nakoa-Wolf's parents from gushing about him.

For instance, while speaking with Net-A-Porter in 2018, Bonet recalled a time when someone asked Nakoa-Wolf, then nine years old, a rather philosophical question. 'One of my proudest moments as a mom was when someone asked Nakoa-Wolf, "Well, what is life for?",' Bonet recalled. 'He said, without missing a beat, "To protect Mother Earth, of course. But God also wants to play with Mother Earth." I just thought: my work is done!' the actress remarked.

Meanwhile, Jason also once talked about Nakoa-Wolf's competitive nature, especially when he's playing card games and board games against his superstar dad. 'So I am and I'm not [competitive], but with my son, he gets me good and he is always beating me,' the actor told People. 'I don't do the sore of loser thing ... and otherwise, I don't mind getting my butt kicked, ... but me and my boy, we lock horns.'

At the same time, Nakoa-Wolf, whose name means warrior in Hawaiian, is also quite the expert with snowmobiles. 'My son's got it down pretty good,' Jason even remarked.

Who Does Nakoa-Wolf Momoa Play in 'Dune: Part Three'?

As it turns out, Nakoa-Wolf had always been interested in acting, having done some plays at school. Admittedly, however, his father wasn't too supportive. 'He always wants to act. I'm like, you're not acting. There's no way — I'm not letting you act,' Jason told Entertainment Weekly.

It seemed fate intervened, however, after producer Cale Boyter saw Nakoa-Wolf's photo. 'He oughta be in pictures!', Jason recalled him saying.

Not long after that, Nakoa-Wolf landed a role in Dune: Part Three. Since then, Jason and his family have had quite a hectic schedule. After attending the premiere of his Apple series Chief of War, they flew out to celebrate Lola's birthday before making their way to Budapest, where Nakoa-Wolf started shooting scenes for Villeneuve.

For his first feature film, Nakoa-Wolf is playing, Leto II, one of the twin children of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya). Watching Nakoa-Wolf get to work on set, Jason couldn't be prouder. 'He just killed it. I'm just crying. I was a f---ing wreck,' he recalled.

Meanwhile, at the moment, Dune: Part Three is Nakoa-Wolf's only upcoming film project. That said, the rising star will likely land more roles soon enough.
