Recent reports suggest that Robert Pattinson might join the grand Dune movie franchise. Directed by the legendary Denis Villeneuve, the film series is a space opera that showcases the talents of multiple actors.
According to Deadline, Pattinson would play the villain named Scytale. The third installment of Dune is expected to adapt Frank Herbert's 1969 book Dune: Messiah, in which Scytale is a shadowy, shape-shifting character who devises a plan to overthrow Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides.

If the reports are true, Robert Pattinson might begin work on Matt Reeves’ long-awaited second installment of The Batman after wrapping up with the sands. While the sci-fi space entry is aiming for a summer filming schedule, Pattinson had previously stated that he expects to start filming The Batman by the end of 2025.
As of now, the superhero movie is set to hit screens on October 1, 2027. It was previously slated for release on October 3, 2025.
