(I’m not gonna lie: I was into it.) When put to screen-where human deity Jason Momoa stands out on his own-and spoken in conversation, well, “Duncan Idaho” lands a bit differently. Readers of Dune, Frank Herbert’s epic fantasy novel and bible for 14-year-old Denis Villeneuve, already know the nomenclature: in a world where Atreides fight Harkonnens, where gom jabbars test Muad'dibs and Stilgars and Chanis ride Shai-Huluds, one warrior will emerge, and his name shall be “Duncan Idaho.”ĭuncan Idaho was no doubt a welcome relief for western readers trying to keep track of a cavalcade of characters seeing such an Anglo-American name amidst titles inspired by non-romance languages helped "Duncan" stand out.
