Zendaya shines as Chani in Dune: Part Two
One X user wrote, "Every single performance in Dune Part 2 hooked me, but what Zendaya did with Chani, especially in terms of how she differs from the novel, is a revelation."
Another fan posted, "Zendaya's Chani in #DunePart2 surpasses the book depth. She’s fierce & heartfelt, so refreshing. There's speculation that Chani might be pregnant. Gotta say the Nezhoni band in the trailer threw me off but delaying Leto's storyline makes sense. What do we think the band represents?"
