Zendaya is excited to dive deeper into her role as Chani in Dune: Part Two.
The actress discussed getting to know her character much more the second time around with Shadow and Act Managing Editor Trey Mangum, along with Florence Pugh Get info without leaving the page, Austin Butler, and Timothée Chalamet.
“For me, I was very lucky to even be there,” she said. “I was shooting the finale of Euphoria at the same time…I jumped on a plane, went and did Dune [Part One] for a week, and went back.”
“…I didn’t have much time with her as a character or much time to build with her or to talk to [director] Denis [Villeneuve] about it. They had already been shooting for months before and there was already a clear machine that was running already and I just wanted to hopefully catch up,” she continued. “I didn’t get to spend much time with her or know who she was other than what I new from the books.”
Zendaya claimed that Villeneuve’s interpretation of the role offered her a lot more acting options.
