Another user thought that Pattinson being cast in Dune would be fitting. He has experience playing villain roles. Back in 2020, the 38-year-old played a predatory preacher, Preston Teagardin, in The Devil All the Time.
He would fit right in playing in Dune, im not sure what role, but im sure he will do well!

Is Tom protecting Zendaya from Robert Pattinson?
However, one user saw the pairing differently and joked, “Well, I hope Tom is protecting his girl, unless he wants her to be like BELLA in TWILIGHT”.
From 2008 until 2012, Pattinson played vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise. ‘Tom’, who the person is referring to in the post, is Zendaya’s Spider-Man co-star and fiancé, Tom Holland, 28.
