Bride Hard wants to be a Paul Feig movie so bad. Known for his female-led comedies in the late 2000s and 2010s, Feig is known for his acute ability to combine humor, pathos, and action to move the story along in memorable and hilarious ways.

When Dune 3 finally arrives, it’ll be boasting more than one Momoa in the cast. Not only is Jason Momoa expected to return as an artificial recreation of his Duncan Idaho character, but his son, newcomer Nakoa-Wolf Momoa will be in the cast, too. He’ll be joined by another new addition, Silo actress Ida Brooke. Momoa and Brooke will play Leto II and Ghanima, the twin children of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) in events set after author Frank Herbert’s original Dune novel.
