The actor said:

Florence is unique. She’s an amazing actress and she’s like that in Dune, really amazing. She put a lot of effort into this role. I can’t believe how lucky I am. Taylor Russell in The Last Bone, Zendaya in Dune, same with Austin Butler. [Zendaya] she hasn’t finished filming yet, which is great. He gives what he gave in the first part – which was already incredible – but in greater quantity. She became my sister. I am grateful to be able to treat her like a partner, a sister and a friend and to tell myself how great it is to work with Luca, with whom we have worked on completely different projects.

Chalamet refers to Luca Guadagnino, the director Until the last bonewho worked with Zendaya on challengers.

First part dunes grossed $400 million worldwide and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture; in the end she won 6 statuettes.
