Robert Pattinson Appears In The 'Dune: Part Three' Trailer With Bleach Blonde Hair

One of today's most successful franchises is the Dune films, based on the famous sci-fi books. Fans are getting really excited, as the third edition of the film series will premiere at the end of the year.

 

Viewers got a taste of what the film will be like last month, when the teaser trailer for the third installment was released. In it, they saw familiar faces, like Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, as well as some new ones, like Robert Pattinson, who will be playing Scytale, one of the story's main villains.

 

To play the eerie role, the dad-of-one was seen with buzzed, short, bleached blonde hair and eyebrows, a much different look from his usual brown-blonde locks. He was seen in a few outfits, but had an overall pale look to his skin.

Fans React To Robert's Trailer Look On Social Media

After the teaser trailer was released, fans of the famous films had a lot to talk about, but it seemed that social media users of all kinds could not get over how different Robert looked. Fans and other film enthusiasts took to social media to not only comment on the 39-year-old's appearance, but also to compare him to some other blonde celebrities.

 

"Now he does look like a vampire," joked an Instagram user, referencing his iconic Twilight role.

 

"He's scary looking," added another.

 

One user wrote that Robert looked like "Eminem's son," as another joked, "That's Tilda Swinton, you're not fooling me."

 

"I am sure he's going to be excellent in this role," added a fan.
