Zendaya says she will return for Dune 3, but THIS is what's keeping her from going
Spice lovers, celebrate! The winds of the desert allude to Zendaya returning to Arrakis and playing Chani once more.
Her allegiance is to the vision of filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, though. Yes, she is excited, but Zendaya understands that Dune Messiah is a beast unto itself, and she knows that waiting for Villeneuve's brilliant touch will make the comeback even more spectacular.
Zendaya said in a recent interview with Fandango that it appears simple to decide to come back for a future Dune Messiah movie, prior to the release of Dune: Part Two.
The Euphoria actress confidently announced that she would most certainly reprise her role as Chani in a later franchise entry.
“Would we be down? I mean of course,” Zendaya answered quickly when asked about her appearance in next Dune movie. So what’s holding her back? As per Variety the actress is just wasting for “a call”.
She is game for Denis Villeneuve to direct a third Dune film whenever he feels it's appropriate, but the film hasn't received a nomination yet.
In the interview she said, “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.”
Villeneuve previously stated that he intended to advance the franchise to a third level and even revealed that the script for the next film was almost finished by December of last year.
