From first meeting of Zendaya's Chani and Timothée Chalamet's Paul—towards the end of Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part One movie—readers noticed changes in former character's portrayal, compared to the book. Continuing our Dune Talk trailer analysis of Chani's scenes, we debate the (expected) differences. Will these benefit the movie's story? Garin, Johnny, and Marcus also discuss a Stephen McKinley Henderson interview and Dune board game expansions.
