Zendaya told Empire earlier this year that she wasn’t on the set of Dune for long for her role as Chani. She had barely been there four days: “My part is very, very small in this movie and that’s why I’m so excited to see it, to see what everyone’s been up to,” she told me. “[Director Denis Villeneuve and I] had a little conversation about who Chani is and how strong she is. Her folks are fighters, and she is one of them. I just had a few days with her, so I barely touched the surface, but it was a lot of fun figuring her out. What does she walk like, and how does she talk? This is her planet, so how does she go around? It was a lot of fun.”
Speaking with InStyle for its November 2021 issue, she added she was definitely down to be in a possible sequel. “We’ll see how the first one goes, but I’m ready to do a second,” she said. “Whenever they call, I’m here. [Co-star] Timothée [Chalamet] is an extraordinary talent and just a lovely person—he’s become my family.”
