The director added that the third “Dune” film “something completely completely different” than which came before.

“The story takes place 12 years later, where we left the characters at the end of part two,” he said. “Your journey, your story is different this time, and that’s why I always say that it is a new world with new circumstances, even though it is the same world.”

While he has prepared for his return to the “Dune” experience, Momoa also plays along with Jack Black and Danielle Brooks in the fantasy adventure film “A Minecraft Movie”, out on April 4.
