Jason Momoa has some big news for “Dune” fans: the actor confirmed he will appear in the upcoming third installment of the “Dune” franchise. 

“I’m making a comeback,” he told TODAY’s Craig Melvin on Monday, March 31. “You heard it first, right here with you, baby.”

“You got me in trouble!” the actor also joked to Craig after spilling the news of his return.

Momoa, 45, played swordmaster Duncan Idaho in 2021’s “Dune.” His character dies in the first movie, so does not make an appearance in 2024’s “Dune: Part Two.”

However, Craig pointed out that in Frank Herbert’s six-part “Dune” book series, published between 1965 and 1985, Duncan Idaho is resurrected in the form of a clone.
