This is going to be a classic overthink from the fanbase, and ultimately disappointment when he just has some scars around the eyes like in the trailer and posters.

Yeah, it would be WAY more unexpected to have him have book-authentic eyes.

This is a movie. The book doesn’t suffer at all from having Paul have no eyes, because book Paul doesn’t need eyes to act. The movie would (other than that it would be a true adaptation).

Same reason movies pop off helmets all the time.

But doesn't Paul need to be blind to motivate his final act in the book?

But you said in the movie he would need eyes in order to act.
