Robert Pattinson Breaks Silence on 'Dune: Part Three' Villain Role

Robert Pattinson confirmed his role as the chief villain in Dune: Part Three and described finding the extreme desert heat during filming surprisingly relaxing.

  • During a conversation with Jennifer Lawrence for IndieWire, Robert Pattinson revealed filming Dune: Part Three in the desert was so hot he `couldn't question anything` and felt relaxed as `my brain actually wasn't operating`.
  • Months ago, reports suggested no official announcement had been made while Pattinson's involvement was rumored when the project was called Dune: Messiah, and the Hollywood Reporter said `Sources say the actor has been circling the role` possibly Scytale.
  • Pattinson joked that after doing 19 movies in a row, he learned to chill while juggling projects and told IndieWire it was really nice and actually relaxing on set.
  • The offhand mention effectively confirmed Pattinson's involvement after months of rumor, and reporters and fans awaiting details note the film arrives December 18, 2026.
  • Pattinson said he heard Denis Villeneuve, director, tell him `Whatever you want!` on set and added he’s taking that approach into other roles.
