Robert Pattinson has had an iconic run in cinema, bringing to life unforgettable characters in major franchises like Twilight, Harry Potter, and Batman, along with critically acclaimed roles under top-tier directors. Now, the 38-year-old actor is reportedly being eyed to play Scytale — the master manipulator and master of disguise — in Dune 3. While there's no official confirmation yet, the possibility has Dune fans buzzing with excitement. However, not everyone is thrilled — some fans aren’t exactly on board with the idea just yet.
Thanks to Robert Pattinson’s schedule being packed with Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey and potentially Dune 3 in just a few months, The Batman 2 is now expected to begin filming only in early 2026. The news has left Batman fans disappointed, as it’s already been three years since the first film released, and at this rate, the sequel might not hit theaters until 2027.
Online memes erupt as The Batman 2 likely to begin filming in early 2026
The constant delays of The Batman 2 have become a running joke on the internet, sparking a wave of hilarious memes and trolling from fans.
