"In Frank Herbert's books, Scytale is a Tleilaxu Face Dancer - a genetically engineered shapeshifter and master manipulator who plays a central role in a conspiracy to overthrow Emperor Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet)."
"Paul tells Lady Jessica, "War feeds on itself. The more I fight, the more enemies fight back," while Pattinson's Scytale appears with a bleached-blond buzz cut and shaved eyebrows."
"Dune: Part Three is expected to directly follow the events of Dune: Part Two, which ended with Paul overthrowing the Emperor, claiming the throne and setting a Fremen-led holy war in motion across the galaxy. Part Three is expected to open with Paul already in power, dealing with the consequences of that decision."
