Warner Bros. is positioning Zendaya as the primary lead for the upcoming film Dune: Part Three. The studio intends to submit her performance as Chani for the Best Actress category at the Oscars, marking a significant shift from her previous supporting actress nominations for the franchise.
The narrative features a time jump of nearly 20 years, depicting Paul Atreides as a ruthless emperor struggling with his authority. Chani, formerly Paul's romantic partner, now serves as the focal point of a conspiracy directed against him.
Director Denis Villeneuve describes the film as a story centered on separation and divorce. This adaptation deviates from Frank Herbert's original novel, Dune Messiah, where Chani does not abandon Paul and the conspiracy originates from different sources, specifically to elevate the importance of the female lead.
Dune: Part Three is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 18. It will debut on the same day as Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday.
