With Dune: Part Two raising the bar even higher than its predecessor, anticipation for Part Three is undeniable. Proving the lengths to which the actors will go to make a good adaptation, Jason Momoa shaved off his beard for the first time in six years!

“Only for you, Denis [Villeneuve],” Momoa said in a video he shared on Instagram, also admitting that he doesn't like it one bit: “Goddamnit! I hate it.”

The internet never misses a thing and fans have a few hilarious takes on Momoa’s transformation already.

“Not to be dramatic, but this is like watching an angel lose their wings,” millenialaf84 on X wrote.

“Watching Momoa without his beard for the first time in six years rewrites everything we thought we knew about his style,” another fan, SirTopiano on X pointed out.

“Duncan can't come out of the Ghola machine with facial hair I guess,” Redditor LieutJimDangle joked.

But this isn't your typical "happily ever after" (far from it).

The story promises to explore the murky consequences of Paul's rise to power. It will challenge us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about heroes and villains.
