LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Zendaya has stirred excitement among cinephiles by expressing her willingness to join the cast of the third installment of the 'Dune' movie series whenever she receives the call.

In a recent social media move, Zendaya also generated significant buzz at the start of the new year by unfollowing everyone on her Instagram account, including her partner Tom Holland.

This action led to speculation among social media users, suggesting that there might be trouble in the relationship between Holland and Zendaya.

Taking control of the narrative, Holland was quick to address the rumors, clarifying that the two of them are certainly not separated and that their romance is thriving and resilient.

Zendaya confesses she is ready to reprise her role in a third 'Dune' movie

As reported by Variety, Zendaya, whose movie 'Challengers,' is also set to release in 2024, is prepared to reprise her character as Chani whenever director Denis Villeneuve decides to proceed with a third installment in the 'Dune' movie series.

In a recent cast interview with Fandango, ahead of the release of 'Dune: Part Two' in theaters, Zendaya expressed her eagerness to return for a potential 'Dune Messiah' movie, considering it a no-brainer, as per Variety.

Villeneuve has publicly shared his desire to create a third 'Dune' film, confirming in December that a script for the project is nearing completion.

As per Variety's report, Zendaya shared her thoughts on starring in another 'Dune' movie, stating, “Would we be down? I mean of course. Any time Denis calls it’s a yes from me. I’m excited to see what happens. I started ‘Messiah’ and I was like, ‘Woah, I’m only shooting the first movie. Let me just go back to the first one.’ It’s so much to take in, but there’s no better hands with better care and love for it than Denis.”



 

Variety also noted Zendaya's remarks about the future of the franchise, where she expressed her anticipation, saying, “I’m just excited to see, It’s just anticipation. Whenever he is ready. He’s a perfectionist in many ways and doesn’t want to share things until they’re ready. So I’m respecting that and waiting until he’s ready.”

While 'Dune: Part Two' is set to premiere on March 1, with its marketing campaign already underway, a recent limited edition 'Dune: Part Two'-themed popcorn bucket has garnered attention on social media. Some users have created a stir by comparing it to human private parts.
