However, no formal offer has been presented, and it is unknown who he would play. The production company, Legendary, had no comment.
As per reports, Pattinson recently co-starred with Zendaya in the A24 film, The Drama, and is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. He is also the star of The Batman, with a sequel set to open in theatres in 2027.
Last year, Legendary confirmed that development on Dune 3 was underway following the blockbuster success of Dune: Part 2. The first two films have earned a combined $1.12 billion at the global box office and won eight Oscars from 15 nominations, with both earning best picture nods.
