Jenna Ortega suspects she auditioned for Zendaya’s role on Dune when the film was in development about six years ago.
“I think I auditioned forDune when I was about 15,” the actor told Buzzfeed when asked what role people might be surprised to hear she had auditioned for.
Ortega will next be seen in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, starring as Astrid Deetz, daughter of Winona Ryder’s Lydia.
Ortega, 21, says she auditioned for a “very secret” role when she was 15 and was very excited because director Denis Villeneuve is “one of my favourite filmmakers”.
