Director Denis Villeneuve is reportedly interested in bringing Robert Pattinson into the fold for the upcoming film, Dune: Messiah. As he finalizes the script in anticipation of a summer production start, Pattinson’s collaboration could add significant star power to an already illustrious cast.

Cast Details and Production Insights

While specific details on the character Pattinson might portray remain undisclosed, sources indicate that formal discussions are in early stages—no official offer has yet been made. The film will see Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya reprising their roles, continuing the storyline from previous installments.

Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s works has attracted notable actors, including Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and Oscar Isaac. The addition of Pattinson could further enhance the film’s appeal.

Recently, Pattinson starred alongside Zendaya in the A24 film titled The Drama and is currently engaged in the filming of Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. Furthermore, he is known for his role in The Batman, with a sequel expected to hit theaters in 2027. Pattinson is represented by WME, 3 Arts Entertainment, Curtis Brown Group, and attorney Robert Offer.

The Future of the Dune Franchise

Following the successful release of Dune: Part 2, which garnered a remarkable $1.12 billion at the global box office and secured eight Academy Awards from fifteen nominations, the studio confirmed that development on Dune 3 is actively underway. The narrative of Dune: Messiah is set to unfold over a dozen years after the events depicted in the second film, and actors like Jason Momoa, who will reprise his role as Duncan Idaho, are expected to return.
