Pattinson in Dune?! You Won’t BELIEVE Who He’s Playing!

Messiah” could one day be seen as a significant piece of information. Justin Kroll first revealed that Villeneuve is considering Robert Pattinson for a significant role in the movie. However, before we could discuss which character from Frank Herbert’s second novel in the series Pattinson should play, another report from The Hollywood Reporter emerged about his potential role. This new story suggests that Villeneuve might be thinking along the same lines as us – Robert Pattinson could be ideal for the villain role of Scytale in “Dune: Part Three”.

Although nothing’s been officially confirmed, The Hollywood Reporter suggests that Robert Pattinson is considering the role of the main antagonist in the upcoming film. Given that Scytale is the only significant villain in the story, it seems plausible that this is the role he might be eyeing. Other possibilities are scarce, with Dune: Messiah’s Edric being a remote possibility. However, casting Robert Pattinson as a repulsive character with a reptilian physique seems unlikely, especially when there’s an opportunity to cast him as a more crucial, intelligent, and sinister shape-shifter instead.

Prophecy”. However, in the book “Dune: Messiah”, Scytale plays a more significant role than his predecessor did in the prequel series. Compared to the villains Paul faced in Denis Villeneuve’s first two films, Scytale is far more clever and cunning.

Robert Pattinson, known for his intriguing acting skills in Hollywood, is indeed an ideal candidate to portray Scytale. He’s a prominent figure who can seamlessly blend into a series brimming with such stars. Moreover, he possesses a dreamy, otherworldly charm that perfectly aligns with the atmosphere and mood of Villeneuve’s Dune films, much like Anya Taylor-Joy does. Crucially, Pattinson has previously demonstrated his ability to play complex, menacing villains, as well as enigmatic, highly intelligent, mysterious characters. This versatility is a significant factor in making his portrayal of Bruce Wayne distinctive from previous versions.

In essence, Robert Pattinson’s performances are always unpredictable yet superbly crafted. For the roles of Scytale and Dune: Part Three’s major villain, such a talented and captivating actor is precisely what’s required. He seems tailor-made for these parts. His presence on screen would undoubtedly enhance Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Paul Atreides. Here’s hoping that the forces at work (Shai-Hulud, and Denis Villeneuve) can make this collaboration a reality. It’s not hard to understand why Pattinson could be an ideal fit for these roles.
