Director Denis Villeneuve might consolidate two Frank Herbert novels into one film for Dune Messiah, potentially adapting both Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. Casting rumors suggest Nakoa-Wolf Momoa as Leto II and Ida Brooke as Ghanima Atreides, children of Paul and Chani. However, if true, this poses a narrative challenge since their characters are newborns in Dune Messiah. Future visions could provide a solution, allowing for the depiction of their eventual significance. There’s a notable precedent for this type of adaptation from the 2003 SyFy Channel films.
Assuming that young Momoa and Brooke are both really playing Leto II and Ghanima in Dune 3, there's just one problem: Those characters are literal newborns at the end of Dune Messiah.
If remotely true, Dune Messiah will do something very similar to what the 2003 SyFy Channel adaptations did.
