Robert Pattinson is in talks to star in Dune 3, Deadline reports, but some fans are concerned about what that could mean for another Pattinson blockbuster: The Batman 2.
Sources reportedly say he'd play the role of Scytale if he signs onto the movie. He's a villain in Frank Herbert's sequel novel Dune Messiah and part of the Bene Tleilax, a mysterious sect of genetically altered humans with specialist skills in genetic engineering. This group is responsible for the return of Duncan Idaho, when they resurrect him as a ghola – essentially, a clone made from the cells of a corpse – and gift him to Paul Atreides.
Duncan Idaho actor Jason Momoa has already teased his return to the sci-fi franchise, saying, "I’m making a comeback. Well, I’m not sure if I’m going to get in trouble or not, but it’s the same thing like Game of Thrones, you know what I mean? If you didn’t read the books, it’s not my fault, right? Yeah, there’s going to be… I'm going to be coming back."
There isn't much official information out there just yet about Dune 3, but we can assume that Pattinson would be joining returning cast members like Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem.
