“Batman 2 is never getting made” — Fans react hilariously as Robert Pattinson is eyed for Dune 3

The Dune franchise has become one of the most successful and beloved franchises in recent years, having raked in over a billion dollars from both Part 1 and Part 2 combined. The stunning visuals and performances by the cast have already cemented the franchise as the Lord of The Rings franchise of today's day and age. As the film gears up for its third epic installment, a recent development seems to have taken place that has generated a lot of curiosity among fans.

As per recent reports, actor Robert Pattinson is being eyed for a role in Dune 3, titled Dune: Messiah. Director Denis Villeneuve, who has nearly finished writing the script, is reportedly interested in casting the star, though no official offer has been made yet. The news has only added to fans' excitement, as the already star-studded cast might just welcome another big name.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

While fans were thrilled about the potential casting, many couldn’t resist heading to the internet to share their hilarious takes on the news.

"Batman 2 is never getting made," a fan wrote.

Between shooting for Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey and now potentially Dune 3, it looks like Robert Pattinson won’t be stepping into the Bat-suit for Batman 2 anytime soon - much to the disappointment of fans.

"Scytale? Scytale," said another.

Perhaps the most popular guess for which character Robert Pattinson might play in Dune 3 is Scytale - the cunning, manipulative antagonist and master of disguise. So who’d be your pick?

Pattinson has been on a winning streak ever since Good Time dropped in 2017, as this fan hilariously puts it. A career so solid, it deserves a LeBron-style celebration!

"Batman, Twilight, and now the God Emperor of DUNE Leto 2? This guy has some range," a fan pointed.

First a vampire in Twilight, then Batman, and now possibly a master manipulator in Dune 3 - Robert Pattinson sure has incredible range, as this user points out. A natural-born shapeshifter!

"Team Edward," commented another.

All the fans who’ve been rooting for Pattinson since his Twilight days nearly two decades ago must be basking in sweet vindication right now, finally getting to rub it in the faces of everyone who ever doubted his talent, especially with how hard he’s been killing it lately.

Robert Pattinson being eyed for a role in Dune 3 has definitely piqued fan interest. With filming expected to begin soon, it won’t be long before we get official confirmation on who’ll be joining the already-impressive cast. Dune 3 is speculated to hit theaters worldwide on December 18, 2026.
