Without a doubt, Dune: Part Three has a perfect role for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Jenna Ortega. To make matters even more interesting, Ortega previously auditioned for a role in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part One over six years ago. Although she lost out on the role, Ortega hasn't completely missed her chance to join the epic sci-fi franchise.
Recently, Ortega recalled losing a Dune role to none other than Zendaya. Ortega revealed that she had, seemingly, tried out for the part of Chani when she was just 15 years old. "Everything was very secret," Ortega said of the Dune audition process. "I remember just being a big fan of that film and the franchise." The actor went on to add that Villeneuve is one of her favorite filmmakers.
