Denis Villeneuve highlights pivotal Zendaya scene as key moment in Dune: Part Two

Director Denis Villeneuve highlighted a pivotal scene featuring Zendaya's character, Chani, as the moment he knew "Dune: Part Two" was successful. The film ends with Chani alone in the desert, emphasizing the dangers ahead rather than celebrating the lead character's triumph. Villeneuve aimed to honor author Frank Herbert's vision of "Dune" as a cautionary tale. He expanded Chani's role to provide her with her own perspective, contrasting with Paul Atreides' journey. This shift allows audiences to see Paul's moral decline through Chani's eyes. "Dune: Part Two" is now available for streaming on Max in the US and Sky/Now in the UK.
