Robert Pattinson, the actor famous for his portrayal of Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga, is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the highly anticipated Dune sequel. While there has been no official confirmation from the filmmakers, sources suggest that Pattinson is being considered for a significant role in the final chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune series.
Pattinson is rumored to be cast as Scytale, a villainous and complex character from Frank Herbert’s Dune universe. This has set the internet ablaze, particularly among fans of Pattinson’s portrayal of Batman, as many are already anxious about the delay of The Batman Part II. The sequel to The Batman, originally scheduled for release in 2026, was postponed to October 1, 2027, leaving fans worried about further delays.
The new casting rumors have sparked a mix of excitement and frustration. Fans of The Batman have taken to social media to express concerns that Pattinson’s packed schedule might lead to further delays for the long-awaited sequel. One user tweeted, “Just f****** announce The Batman Part 2 is canceled at this point, just rip the damn bandaid off,” while another added, “The Batman 2 definitely canceled at this point.”
In addition to Dune, Pattinson has other major projects in the works, including Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey, which further complicates the timeline for The Batman Part II. While the actor’s involvement in Dune is still unconfirmed, the prospect of his dual commitments to major franchises has left many wondering how this might impact his return as the Dark Knight.
As the excitement for Dune continues to build, and the uncertainty surrounding The Batman persists, fans will have to wait and see how Pattinson’s casting might affect both his superhero role and his involvement in other high-profile projects.
