Robert Pattinson is in talks to star in Dune 3, Deadline reports, but some fans are concerned about what that could mean for another Pattinson blockbuster: The Batman 2.
Sources reportedly say he'd play the role of Scytale if he signs onto the movie. He's a villain in Frank Herbert's sequel novel Dune Messiah and part of the Bene Tleilax, a mysterious sect of genetically altered humans with specialist skills in genetic engineering. This group is responsible for the return of Duncan Idaho, when they resurrect him as a ghola – essentially, a clone made from the cells of a corpse – and gift him to Paul Atreides.
