Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya fever gripped London on Thursday night as the Hollywood heartthrobs hit the red carpet for the world premiere of their new movie, Dune: Part Two. Huge crowds of adoring fans queued for hours to see them, and were screaming their names as they walked in. Zendaya drew audible gasps from the crowd when she finally appeared wearing a stunning metallic suit. The long-awaited sequel was originally set to premiere last autumn. The release date had been pushed back due to the Hollywood actors and writers strikes, which plagued the industry for much of last year. “It’s a massive relief to finally put the movie out there,” director Denis Villeneuve told BBC News. He added he will be “biting his nails” until the film actually hits cinemas next month. Florence Pugh and Austin Butler were also among the star-studded cast celebrating the launch of the film.
The epic sci-fi film is based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert, which was released in 1965, and has won numerous accolades including the Hugo Award. It follows the journey of Paul Atreides (Chalamet) as he unites with his love interest, Chani (Zendaya), and the Fremen desert people as they take on a huge enemy army. In the sequel, Chalamet’s character learns their special way of surviving on the barren desert planet while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Chalamet admitted he was feeling “a little bit of pressure” to see the role through given its critical and commercial success. Speaking on the red carpet, the star said he was hopeful that Dune: Part Three would follow. “I hope so, I hope so,” he shared. The world of Dune can be quite confusing for those unfamiliar with the books. It is full of mystical prophecies, giant sandworms, and warring factions. But for many of the fans at Thursday’s event in Leicester Square, the source material wasn’t the main reason why they were there. “I’m mostly excited to see Timothée Chalamet,” said one excited fan. “I love him,” another young girl clutching a cardboard cutout of Chalamet, declared. Another fan told the BBC she was waiting for a glimpse of Zendaya.
Chalamet rose to fame in 2017’s Call Me By Your Name which at the time led to him becoming the youngest-ever Oscar nominee for best actor. He has since become an internet sensation and the pin-up of choice for millennials and Generation Z. In the UK, the 28-year-old recently earned himself a new fanbase, after he said in an interview that he found Hull’s accent to be “sexy”. Zendaya, 27, is a well-known fashion icon and has built a loyal following starring roles in Spiderman alongside boyfriend Tom Holland and in Dune: Part One. There were also a lot of screams when the Masters of Air actor Butler walked in, supported by his model girlfriend Kaia Gerber. Best known for his award-winning portrayal of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis (2022), Butler has made his Dune debut as the bald, eyebrow-less villain Feyd-Rautha. “This was such a fun
