Robert Pattinson Reportedly Being Eyed for Major ‘Dune 3’ Role

According to reports, Denis Villeneuve's upcoming movie ‘Dune: Messiah’ is considering Robert Pattinson for a significant role.

 Deadline claims that Villeneuve is working on the script for ‘Dune: Messiah’ and is considering giving Pattinson a significant part in the third installment of the Dune series.  According to insiders, Pattinson is being given preference for the part of Scytale, a significant antagonist, even though no official offers have been made as of yet and Legendary has not responded.

 Pattinson would join an ensemble that already consists of Josh Brolin, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet, and others if cast.

Although ‘Dune: Messiah’ does not yet have an official release date, rumors indicate that production may start this summer.  The movie, which is anticipated to be Villeneuve's last entry in the ‘Dune’ series, will adapt Frank Herbert's second ‘Dune’ novel.

 In the novel, Chalamet's character Paul Atreides had led the Fremen, also known as Muad'Dib, for many years.  As his power increases, he must contend with outside dangers as well as the religious fervor that surrounds his reign.

‘Dune: Part Two's stunning cinematography, creative production design, and engrossing sound were all commended in a recent review.  Paul's thrilling sandworm ride, which had been hinted at in the first movie, was one of the most memorable scenes.
