Jenna Ortega reveals major movie role she missed out on
The Wednesday actress explained she auditioned for a lead role in a blockbuster sci-fi franchise. At 15, Jenna said, she tried out to play, she believes, Chani in the Dune movies, directed by Denis Villeneuve. The role eventually went to Zendaya, 27. "I think I auditioned for Dune when I was about 15," Jenna, now 21, told BuzzFeed during its Puppy Interview video series. "I remember just being a big fan of that film and the franchise and everything like that and being really excited for that interview because Denis is one of my favourite filmmakers.".
