Zendaya Teases a Much Bigger Role for Chani in Dune: Part 2

Denis Villeneuve’s remake of the Frank Herbert novel Dune took the same gamble that Andy Muschietti took with his remake of Stephen King’s IT, putting out a movie that only covered half of the long and winding story without a green light for the second part in place. While there are many who believe that it was a foregone conclusion that Dune: Part 2 would be given the go ahead, it was officially confirmed after the first film managed a decent post-pandemic return at the box office, becoming the tenth highest grossing movie of the year at the time, and gained attention on HBO Max. Now in anticipation of the conclusion to the story, the movie’s star Zendaya has revealed in a new interview that her character will get more screen time the second time around.
