Although both 2021's Dune and this year's Dune: Part Two ultimately focus on the story of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), Zendaya's character Chani plays a critical role too. In the sci-fi sequel, she is also placed at the forefront of the story, with director Denis Villeneuve describing her as his "secret weapon" to telling this chapter of the tale.
We won't go into spoilers here, Chani goes on a significant personal journey in Dune: Part Two, reexamining her relationship with the Fremen community, her faith, and even Paul.
