Just in case there weren't enough big names in Legendary's "Dune" reboot, the project is looking to add Jason Momoa.

The "Aquaman" star is in talks to join the cast, Variety reports. He'd add to the film's already ample star-power. Its cast includes Timothee Chalamet, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, and Oscar Isaac.

The film is a reboot of David Lynch's 1984 sci-fi flick of the same name, which is based on Frank Herbert's 1965 novel "Dune." The story takes place in the future on a desert planet called Arrakis, where the family of a man named Paul Atreides (Chalamet) is in power. When Atreides is betrayed, he must battle with rival noble families to regain control. Momoa's character is Duncan Idaho, a swordmaster and close ally of Chalamet's father (Isaac).

Momoa has seen his career pick up over the last several years. His resume includes TV roles in HBO's "Game of Thrones" and Netflix's "Frontier," along with parts in the films "Braven," "Justice League," and "Once Upon a Time in Venice."

Denis Villeneuve ("Blade Runner 2049") is directing the film from a script he co-wrote with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts. He is producing alongside Mary Parent and Cale Boyter, while the executive producers are Kim Herbert, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, and Thomas Tull. Kevin J. Anderson serves as a creative consultant.
