Hot on the heels of Oscar Isaac being lined up to join the cast, now comes word that Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is close to adding another name to its ranks.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Zendaya is somebody who could well be joining the new take on Frank Herbert’s iconic tale. In terms of her potential role in the picture, the Spider-Man: Homecoming actress is up for Chani, the love interest of the story’s main character, Paul Atreides.

If the singer-cum-actress does indeed sign on for Dune, she’ll join a cast that includes Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson as Paul’s mother Lady Jessica, Charlotte Rampling as Reverend Mother Mohiam, Stellan Skarsgard as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, and Dave Bautista as the sadistic nephew of Skarsgard’s Baron Harkonnen. As alluded to, Oscar Isaac is currently in talks to play Duke Leto Atreide, the father of Paul.

Dune began life back in 1965, with Frank Herbert’s original novel tying for the 1966 Hugo Award and then winning the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Set in the distant future, the story centres on Paul Atreides as his family takes control of the desert planet known as Arrakis. With valuable resources key to the tale, what unravels is a plot that’s full of politics, betrayal, and man’s relationship with nature. A Kyle MacLachlan-starring, David Lynch-helmed movie followed in 1984, which went on to become a cult classic, and then Syfy developed a Dune TV series in 2000. As for written works, Herbert penned five sequels himself before Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert expanded that written world even further.

At this stage, Villeneuve’s Dune has yet to be given a release date.
