New details have emerged regarding Dune 3.
Director Denis Villeneuve is currently developing the third installment of Dune, titled Dune 3. Filming for this sequel is projected to start this coming summer, although a specific release date from Warner Bros. has not been announced as of now.
On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, Deadline announced that Robert Pattinson might be considering a role in an upcoming movie. Although Deadline wasn’t certain about the character he would play, The Hollywood Reporter suggested that he could be eyeing the main antagonist part, potentially portraying Scytale from Frank Herbert’s books.
What is the latest Dune 3 update?
Nexus Point News is now reporting that Pattinson is indeed set to play Scytale in Dune 3.
According to the article, Deadline’s earlier report hinted at Robert Pattinson potentially joining the movie, but the role wasn’t specified. Nexus Point News has been keeping tabs on this for weeks and can confirm that a deal is either already finalized or very close to being sealed, contrary to Deadline’s statement suggesting no offer has been made yet.
In the second book of Herbert’s Dune series, titled “Dune Messiah,” is where Scytale made its debut. As the preceding books, “Dune” and “Dune: Part Two,” were based on the first novel, it’s reasonable to assume that Villeneuve’s “Dune 3” will be an adaptation of “Dune Messiah.
According to a report by Nexus Point News, Scytale serves as both a skilled dancer with expressive features and a member of the secretive Bene Tleilax organization, which specializes in genetic engineering. This enigmatic group is credited with producing the first Duncan Idaho ghola, a character that Jason Momoa will reprise in an upcoming movie. Scytale is slated to be the main adversary in this film, while in the original novel he collaborates with characters like the Guild Navigator Edric, Reverend Mother Mohiam (Charlotte Rampling), and Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) in an attempt to dethrone Emperor Paul Atreides (Timothé Chalamet).
Furthermore, Nexus Point News states that the process of selecting actors for the roles of Chani’s children, Leto and Ghanima, is currently being carried out. Both characters are expected to portray teenagers in the production.
