Why Zendaya Is the Worst Choice for Chani
Let me clarify this from the start. My issues with the new Dune adaptation are not limited to a single character. I have problems with several casting choices, and not all of them work for me.
However, Zendaya as Chani stands out as the most miscast role in the entire film, which is why I am focusing on it specifically.
This is not about hate. I do not deny that Zendaya can look striking. On red carpets, she looks stunning thanks to excellent stylists, designers, and makeup artists who do their job flawlessly. In that context, she appears every bit a Hollywood fashion icon.
But looking striking is not the same as having natural beauty, and it certainly is not the same as being right for a specific role. Strip away the couture, elaborate hairstyles, and polished makeup, and what remains is a very ordinary appearance. Not bad, just unremarkable.
And that becomes a serious problem when it comes to Chani.
Chani is not a background character or simply the love interest. In Frank Herbertβs novels, she is described as a very beautiful woman with red hair and an almost elfin quality. She has natural charm and a quiet inner strength. There is something wild, otherworldly, and deeply captivating about her, a sense that she belongs to Arrakis more profoundly than most.
Zendayaβs Chani lacks all of this. On screen, she appears grounded to the point of plainness, at times even rough, and far too ordinary. There is no mystery, no distinctive femininity, and no magnetic presence. She does not feel like a symbolic figure of the Fremen, nor like someone capable of emotionally balancing Paul. She is simply present, but empty.
I understand Denis Villeneuveβs logic. Casting popular actors is a smart commercial move. Zendaya is a recognizable name, a marketing asset, and a guarantee of attention. From a financial perspective, it makes sense. Artistically, however, I believe this choice failed.
For comparison, letβs look at the 1984 adaptation, where Sean Young played the role of Chani. That version wasnβt perfectly faithful to the book either, but it managed to convey the charm, softness, and inner strength that defined the character. Her Chani possessed charisma, emotional depth, and genuine feminine allure β even within the stylistic limitations of that era.
As for Zendayaβs acting, I did not see it in either the first or the second film. There was no depth, no inner conflict, and no character development. The performance feels flat, as if the actress is merely occupying the frame rather than inhabiting the role.
To repeat, I have issues with other characters in the new Dune as well. But Chani, as portrayed by Zendaya, is the most unsuitable casting choice in the film. She does not work visually, she does not work dramatically, and she does not align with the literary source. This is not about personal taste. It is about miscasting.
