Robert Pattinson as Scytale is my most-anticipated part of Dune 3, and it's about time that he played a proper blockbuster villain

Scytale standing among the Fremen.

Robert Pattinson is good at being weird. Really, really good. Despite making a name for himself as a vampiric heartthrob in '00s teen classic Twilight, he's found his footing as more of a character actor than a leading man in the decade-and-a-bit since the quadrilogy wrapped up.

He picks interesting projects, for one thing, working with directors as varied as Christopher Nolan to Lynne Ramsay to Bong Joon-ho in the last five years alone. He's played a lighthouse keeper descending into madness, a series of expendable clones, and even a Studio Ghibli heron (usually, I feel pretty strongly about watching subtitled versions of international films rather than the dub, but I made an exception to hear Pattinson's bonkers turn in the recording booth to voice the titular bird in Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron).
