Dune 2: The Sequel Will Be About The Character Of Zendaya Here We Explain About Her

Dune is already one of the best films of the year, it showed that Frank Herbert’s work is not impossible to adapt and it is believed that it could give a few Oscar nominations to Denis Villenueve, who seems to have found the key to breaking the “curse” that all the adaptations of the novels had until now. The story of Dune takes place on a distant planet called Arrakis, where Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet in the new film) discovers that he has a very important destiny to fulfill and that he must help protect his planet from an enemy clan that seeks to obtain their resources to gain even more power in the universe.

Paul is special and even before he knew what to do, he began to have visions and dreams that he couldn’t explain, especially about a mysterious woman who seems to be connected to him in inexplicable ways, and who will help him find a way to survive on Arrakis and fulfill your mission. Who is she? It is about Chani the character who is played by Zendaya in the film, and who will be the focus of part two of the film, according to Villeneuve himself.

When It Premieres?

According to Deadline the sequel has already been confirmed and received the green light for its theatrical release in October 2023.

“I just got word from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with Dune: Part Two. It was a dream for me to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune and I have the fans, cast and crew, Legendary and Warner Bros. to thank for supporting this dream. This is just the beginning Villeneuve said.

What is The Sequel to Dune About?

The characters in Dune are complex and have a lot to tell, so Villeneuve decided to do something that no one has tried before and give the story a continuation to focus on Chani Kynes, who is a member of the Fremen tribe and an ally of Paul Atraides. In the book, the character of Chani is the daughter of Liet-Kynes (which in this film is a woman and is played by Sharon Duncan-Brester) the leading paleontologist of Arrakis. Chani was trained as a warrior and serves the leader Stilgar, in addition to having a connection with Paul even before the two meet she often appears in their visions of the future.

Speaking to the Italian magazine Il Venerdì di Repubblica, Villeneuve said that “I can’t wait to film the second part of Dune to put (Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya) back together, knowing that in the next chapter Zendaya will be the protagonist of the story. Chani is not only Paul’s romantic interest but she is also a skilled and powerful warrior, and knows all about the use of “spices”, which is the most valuable substance in the universe that Paul must protect during the film.

Villeneuve previously said that the story of Dune is too complicated to tell in one movie, explaining that “I would not agree to do this adaptation of the book with only one movie. The world is too complex. It is a world that takes its power in the details. “It is a book that deals with politics, religion, ecology, spirituality and with many characters. I think that’s why it’s so difficult. It’s honestly by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done, “he said.

We don’t know if the sequel he talks about will be a completely new story, or if he has material from the book in mind to continue exploring the world of Arrakis and Dune but it is clear that he will leave us on a side of Chani that we have not been able to. see until now, and that she is going to take center stage and show that she is much more than she appears. For now, we can only wait to see the premiere of the new version of Dune to finish understanding the connection that exists between Chani and Paul and what that means for the second part of the story, which still has no release date or more details.
