Robert Pattinson might wear the Batman cape a little later since he is being considered for a role in Denis Villeneuve's upcoming Dune 3.

In February 2025, during the red carpet for Mickey 17, Robert Pattinson told Deadline that he would start filming for Batman 2 at the end of 2025. With the latest developments related to Dune 3, it may not be possible. According to the reports, Dune: Messiah is expected to go on floors in the summer. Screen Rant says that it is slated to begin in July 2025 and go till the end of the year.
So, Robert Pattinson's Dune 3 role can affect the Batman 2 shooting schedule. Screen Rant suggests that Reeves' Batman sequel will potentially begin production at the beginning of 2026.
Robert Pattinson: What do we know about his future projects like The Batman 2 and Dune 3?
Robert Pattinson is reportedly set to play Scytale, the villain in Dune 3, titled Dune: Messiah. Legendary Pictures has not confirmed this detail at the time of writing this article. However, if it happens, Pattinson will join the star-studded cast of Denis Villeneuve's epic film, which reportedly includes Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Zendaya (Challengers), Austin Butler (Elvis), Florence Pugh (Midsommar), Josh Brolin (Sicario), and Jason Momoa (Aquaman).
Villeneuve's films are based on Frank Herbert’s eponymous novel series. His latest threequel will reportedly be based on Dune: Messiah, Herbert's follow-up novel, which takes place a few years after the events of Dune 2, in the context of the movies. So, the time jump can bring new cast and characters to its already notable list.
With Pattinson's potential inclusion, Dune 3 can get another popular star on board. It can also be his third project with Zendaya, who will also co-star with him in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Kristoffer Borgli's Drama.
On the other hand, the Twilight star is also hoping to enter the production of the Batman sequel. The much-anticipated Batman 2 has been delayed for some creative and logistical reasons. If Pattinson's Dune 3 casting is confirmed, it will likely impact the schedule for the DC superhero sequel.
In addition to these high-budget franchise projects, Robert Pattinson is set to star in Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love, on the heels of Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17.
