He's also teaming up with Zendaya for the romantic comedy The Drama.

Big casts, big buzz, and Pattinson's take on filming

Pattinson shared that filming Dune: Part Three felt surprisingly relaxing despite the harsh desert setting.
The Odyssey is already turning heads—its IMAX screenings sold out within an hour this July—and features stars like Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Anne Hathaway.
In The Drama, Pattinson and Zendaya co-star in this romantic comedy.
