Denis Villeneuve promises that Zendaya will have a much more prominent role in DunePartTwo. 'We will follow Timothée and Zendaya on their adventures in the desert.'
Denis Villeneuve teases Zendaya will have a more prominent role in Dune: Part 2 than in the first film. Writer/director Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel was released last year in theaters and on HBO Max. The film follows Paul Atreides , the heir of nobleman Duke Leto , who has been tasked with ruling over the desert planet of Arrakis per the Emperor.
The film covers the first half of Herbert's novel. That said, it wasn’t clear whether audiences would get to see the second half until box-office and streaming results indicated Dune 2 would be profitable. Thankfully, Dune was a financial success and has been praised for its performances, visuals, score, and even managed to score ten Academy Award nominations. Warner Bros. and Legendary have greenlit Dune: Part 2, which will begin filming later in 2022 and release in theaters next year.
For Zendaya, I will say Part One was a promise. I know that we saw a glimpse of her in Part One, but in Part Two, she'll have a prominent part. We will follow Timothée and Zendaya on their adventures in the desert. That's the thing that excited me most about going back to Arrakis is to spend time with those characters again.
The second half of Herbert’s novel focuses on Paul and Lady Jessica’s time with the Fremen. In the book, Chani inducts Paul in the ways of the Fremen and helps him in his fight for Arrakis. Villeneuve is right to say that fans can expect more Zendaya in Dune 2 as her character becomes very close to the Atreides heir.
As two of the world’s most popular movie stars, Zendaya and Chalamet headlining Dune: Part 2 will continue to drive enthusiasm for the sequel. Audiences are no doubt excited to see the two share more time together on screen. On top of that, the follow-up will reportedly feature Florence Pugh, who Villeneuve says “things are not solidified” with, but he is a"big fan of Florence.
