Zendaya has her first big break in the Disney show Shake It Up. Starring alongside Bella Thorne, she portrayed the role of Rocky Blue, a girl who loves dancing. It truly helped her out in a big way as well, considering the fact she was a relative nobody at the time.
Obviously, she is a massive star now thanks to her roles in Spider-Man and eventually Euphoria. Now, it appears Zendaya has revealed one Dune character she would have played had she not become Chani.

While speaking during a recent video, Zendaya was asked which Dune character she wanted to play if she was not Chani. Zendaya admitted that she loved Lady Jessica and would have loved to play her.
”I love lady Jessica because she’s terrifying and I think Rebecca is so brilliant at bringing that character to life when she uses the voice and all that stuff I just I find it so fun. I also think that everybody secretly wants to be Fade Rala too because it just seems like such a fun character to play.”
However, Zendaya then added that everyone secretly wanted to portray Fade Rala as well simply because it seemed like such a fun character to play. Nonetheless, fans are happy Zendaya is Chani and that is all that matters.
