I'll wager that they leave that out as it'll look too weird. Also,
Spoiler:
Hayt is a mentat, so they'll want him to do Thufir's eyeroll thing.

They don't hold a candle to really good climbing skills, I'm told.

I bet you a pumpkin spice latte it's the opposite. Part 2 makes me think DV is going to lean into the weird more for the next one. And I think the spoiler-ed bit is underdeveloped in the first two and therefore will be dropped.

The character of Thufir Hawat (Stephen McKinley Henderson) was briefly introduced in Dune as a loyal friend and adviser to House Atreides, but there was no sign of the Mentat (human computer) in the recent sequel.

Director Denis Villeneuve has previously said that out of all the scenes that ended up being cut from Part Two, losing Hawat was the most "painful."

"One of the most painful choices for me on this one was Thufir Hawat. He's a character I absolutely love, but I decided right at the beginning that I was making a Bene Gesserit adaptation. That meant that Mentats are not as present as they should be, but it's the nature of the adaptation."

AMC Exec: We Wouldn't Have Made the Dune Popcorn Bucket if We Knew You'd Be Sickos About It
“We continue to learn and evolve. We would have never imagined the Dune thing. We would have never created it knowing it would be celebrated or mocked,” AMC Chief Content Officer Elizabeth Frank told Variety about the overwhelming response to the sandworm bucket, which even got cast and crew talking for its, uh... soft, wormy tendrils, driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.
It's almost as if people are the problem.
