Jenna Ortega Believes She Read for ‘Dune’ in ‘Very Secret’ Audition: ‘I Think It Was Zendaya’s’ Role


Jenna Ortega believes she read for the role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune' in a 'very secret' audition.

Jenna Ortega has a hunch that she auditioned for Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” adaptation six years ago. Zendaya was reportedly cast in “Dune” in January 2019, meaning that Villeneuve was likely meeting actors, possibly including Ortega, during the preceding months. The follow-up marks a reunion for Ortega and Burton, who have previously worked together on Netflix’s hit series “Wednesday.”
