Timotheé Chalamet's pale visage and perfectly coifed curls may be the face of the "Dune" franchise, but another powerhouse has emerged. In the second installment of Denis Villeneuve's carefully crafted and magically strange science fiction action film, we have a glimpse of a new savior: Zendaya.
The former Disney Channel star turned dramatic actor known for her Emmy-winning performance in "Euphoria," fully transforms as Chani, a Fremen warrior in "Dune Part Two." In Villeneuve's film, Paul Atreides (Chalamet) is a reluctant Chosen One. The son of a duke (Oscar Isaac) and a telepathic Bene Gesserit woman (Rebecca Ferguson), Paul is an outsider who lands on the desert planet Arrakis, where his family was sent by the Emperor (Christopher Walken) to exploit for Spice, an abundant natural resource.
