Jason Momoa compares 'Dune' to his previous projects, 'Auqaman' and 'Game of Thrones'

Jason Momoa will soon be seen on the big screen playing the role of Duncan Idaho, a prominent character of the upcoming Dune movie. Dune is based on a 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert, which is often considered to be a pioneer of the Space Opera genre and is the book that inspired many aspects of the Star Wars series. For the longest time, Dune was considered to be unadaptable, especially after the failure of the 1984 film adaptation. 

The upcoming movie will feature Jason Momoa as the mentor of the lead character Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet). Jason Momoa and the rest of Dune's cast is now busy promoting the film as it is set to release in December of this year. In a recent press conference reported on by Cinemablend, Jason Momoa discussed how working for Dune was different than his prior projects. The actor even claimed that Dune was bigger than DC's Aquaman and HBO's Game of Thrones.
