Zendaya Is Only In 7 Minutes Of "Dune," And Twitter Is UPSET
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The sci-fi adaptation Dune hit theaters and HBO Max this weekend, starring indie darling Timothée Chalamet and Disney star-turned-powerhouse Zendaya.
At least...it seemed to star Timothée and Zendaya, based on the press tour, red carpets, photos, promo, etc...
...When in actuality, Zendaya, who plays Chani, appears in seven minutes total of the film, a good amount of which is just glorified perfume ads of her face in the desert as Timothée's character Paul has visions of her.

Feeling led astray, people took to Twitter to voice their frustrations...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ZENDAYA IS ONLY IN DUNE FOR SEVEN MINUTES
Like, really. They were not okay.
so zendaya is only in dune (2021) for seven minutes—
At all.
Zendaya is only in Dune for 7 minutes
Like, if you went to the bathroom at the wrong part, you might have barely noticed Zendaya in the film at all.
Zendaya screen time in Dune
Besides the last few scenes, most of Zendaya's appearances were basically just this:
this is literally all Zendaya does in her 2 minutes of screen time in Dune i'm not joking
And this:
zendaya her entire 10 minutes of screentime in dune (2021):
And this:
zendaya for three hours in dune
The credits were longer than her appearance.
The credits were longer than Zendaya’s camera time in Dune
It doesn't even matter that she's barely in the first half of the book — WE WANTED ZENDAYA, DAMMIT!
Now see, all the Dune fans coming out like “well if you had read the book you’d know her character isn’t....” I DON’T WANT TO READ THE BOOK I WANT TO SEE ZENDAYA WHAT’S NOT CLICKING STEVEN
We were led ASTRAY by this press tour.
they had zendaya on press tour as if she has more than 5 minutes on screen
BAMBOOZLED, I say!!!
the new Dune tv spot was 90% Zendaya 😭 they are baiting everyone so hard
It's not okay.
So I went into that new movie Dune expecting Zendaya to serve per usual the way they had her promoting it... just for her to have 10 minutes of screentime in a 2 hour movie 💀💀#Dune
And it's not even the first time this has happened. :(
DUNE SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING 🤝Press tours that imply Zendaya is a lead of the film even though she won’t actually play a major role until the sequel
Even with her limited screen time, though, Chandi/Zendaya was one of the best parts of the film.
It only took 7 minutes for Zendaya to steal the whole damn movie anyway 😍
Top two best characters, for sure (tie between Zendaya and the planet).
Who is your favorite character in Dune, mine is a tie between Zendaya and Dune
Seriously, we need this sequel greenlit NOW.
Dune better get a sequel the way Zendaya has been put to work for the promo 😭
Tom, do your thing. Avenge Zendaya's lack of screen time.

Meanwhile...I guess I'll see you in my dreams, Zendaya.
