Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides is not the real hero of Dune: Part Two... it's Zendaya's headstrong character, Chani. And it's not easy to argue that fact given Paul's transformation into the Muad'dib, who decides to wed Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) at the film's conclusion. In a recent interview, director Denis Villeneuve reveals that the Freman warrior, Chani, is, in fact, his "secret weapon" in the sci-fi sequel to 2021's Dune.
