The casting for this movie is a disaster in general. Zendaya can’t act for shit unless she’s playing a deeply sarcastic character who rolls their eyes every 40 seconds. She was astonishingly bad in Dune.
She’s the only character I completely disliked the casting for. She is supposed to be strong, threatening, and brilliant. In the first movie she sort of is, but she is a wimpy gossip in the second movie. If I remember correctly Paul is afraid of her through the first book (2 movies), that barely translated into the movies.
There are so many other great picks though. It’s an ensemble story with several arcs where few characters actually stick around for the entire run. If you don’t like an actor, there’s like a 90% chance they won’t be a factor for very long, especially Zendaya who’s likely one of the many characters they meet along the way.

I now am a believer in the many worlds hypothesis. Clearly we have seen very different movies.
I loved her in Dune. She made the character very believable.

Fair enough. The casting of those movies made them hard for me to enjoy. Chalamet is almost as irritating lol.
We need a gaunt white man! Cillian Murphy isn’t available? Cast Chalamet! They don’t need to be talented for this role anyways.
…could’ve cast elliot page…
She gives Disney Channel Original Movie energy in everything she’s in. Not a good fit for Dune or Odyssey.
