'Dune 3': Robert Pattinson confirms he's playing the villain
Robert Pattinson just confirmed he's playing the villain in Dune 3.
He opened up about filming in the desert, saying, "It was so hot... I just couldn't question anything... I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis [Villeneuve]: 'Whatever you want!'"
He's keeping details about his character under wraps for now.
Rumors about Pattinson's casting started last year
Rumors about Pattinson joining Dune 3 started back in April 2025 and only grew after some set photos leaked over the summer.
With this confirmation, months of speculation are finally over.
The film continues Denis Villeneuve's take on Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi series, and even Jennifer Lawrence mentioned how packed Pattinson's schedule has been lately.
Meanwhile, Pattinson is a father now!
Away from the cameras, Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse welcomed a baby girl in March 2024. They've chosen to keep her name and details private to protect her privacy.
