Part 9/11:
Perhaps the most talked-about rumor revolves around Timothy Shalamé’s appearance. The leak mentions a "bald Timothy Shalamé," which fans earlier speculated could be a stylistic choice, symbolizing a significant character transformation. Some interpret this as a deliberate move to depict Paul as a more villainous figure—possibly to reflect the morally complex evolution of his character.
This radical new look might also serve as a visual cue tying Paul to past villains like Fade Rautha, especially considering the narrative hints that Paul has Harkonnen bloodlines. The choice to portray Paul as bald could symbolize his detachment from traditional heroism, emphasizing a darker, more intimidating persona aligned with the complex themes of power and corruption.
