Spice fans can rejoice as Zendaya, the talented actress who played Chani in Dune, hints at her return to Arrakis for the upcoming Dune: Part Two. In a recent interview with Fandango, Zendaya expressed eagerness to reprise her role, emphasizing her loyalty to director Denis Villeneuve’s vision for the epic sci-fi saga.
Zendaya confirmed that she would definitely play Chani in a potential Dune Messiah film, expressing confidence in Villeneuve’s masterful touch. However, she clarified that her return is contingent on receiving “a call” from the director, indicating that she is eagerly waiting for the right moment to join the next installment of the franchise.
The actress stated, “Any time Denis calls it’s a yes from me. I’m excited to see what happens. I started ‘Messiah’ and I was like, ‘Woah, I’m only shooting the first movie. Let me just go back to the first one.’ It’s so much to take in, but there’s no better hands with better care and love for it than Denis.”
While Zendaya awaits the call for the potential Dune Messiah film, Denis Villeneuve has already expressed his intention to take the franchise to a third level. He mentioned that the script for the next installment was almost completed by December of the previous year, leaving fans hopeful for the continuation of the Dune saga.
Despite the anticipation for Dune 3, Zendaya emphasized that she is looking forward to it with excitement and trusts Villeneuve’s expertise in handling the intricate storyline. The actress conveyed her enthusiasm for the project, making it clear that whenever Denis Villeneuve decides it’s time for a third Dune movie, she is ready to join the cast.
As fans eagerly await the release of Dune: Part Two, which is scheduled to open in theaters on March 1, Zendaya’s commitment to the franchise adds an extra layer of excitement. The star-studded cast, including Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, and Timothée Chalamet, promises a cinematic experience that Villeneuve claims is even better than the original, with a deeper connection to the characters and heightened emotional intensity.
