Denis Villeneuve deciding to adapt Dune across two movies rather than one was a tricky proposition, as there was no guarantee he’d get to chronicle the second half of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel if the first half wasn’t a hit. Fortunately, Dune was positively received by both critics and general audiences alike in 2021, and a few weeks later, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced that Dune: Part Two was moving forward. Cut to earlier this week, following the premiere of the next Dune movie’s first trailer, Zendaya was particularly amused by a fan response involving her and Timothée Chalamet, and it’s delightful.
Although Paul Atreides saw visions of of Chani during the first Dune, it wasn’t until the end of the movie that Chalamet and Zendaya’s characters finally met, with Paul and his mother, Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Jessica, coming across Chani’s Fremen tribe, led by Javier Bardem’s Stilgar. Dune: Part Two will see Paul and Chani forming a special bond in the deserts of Arrakis, where a stillsuit is required to survive. This involves attaching an apparatus to one’s nose, and someone took it upon themselves to add that apparatus to Chalamet and Zendaya’s faces in a screen grab of them from when they were promoting Dune. Check out Zendaya sharing in on her Instagram Stories!
