Zendaya Teases a Big 2026: From Chani in Dune 3 to Athena in The Odyssey

Zendaya has dropped a new photo and, honestly, it didn’t say much… but it didn’t need to. Fans quickly picked up on what looks like a hint at two huge upcoming films — Dune 3 and The Odyssey.

And the combo itself is wild.

On one side, she’s back as Chani in the Dune universe, which already feels like its own world at this point. And on the other, she’s apparently stepping into The Odyssey as Athena — which is a completely different vibe altogether. Sci-fi desert survival vs Greek mythology god energy… both in the same year.

It’s kind of crazy when you think about it. Not many actors are jumping between two massive franchises like this at the same time, and both roles already feel big in completely different ways.

There’s no proper promo or anything yet, just this quiet tease. But that was enough for fans to start going off online, trying to decode everything from one photo (as usual).

If both films actually land in the same year, 2026 is shaping up to be a serious Zendaya year — not loud announcements, just big roles stacking up one after another.
