Zendaya is dusting off her “Dune” boots to star in an untitled science‑fiction film written and directed by Alex Garland for A24, slated to begin production in two thousand twenty‑seven. The collaboration follows her recent work on the hit series “Euphoria,” which concluded after three seasons earlier this year, and the box‑office success “The Drama” with Robert Pattinson, earning almost one hundred thirty‑five million dollars worldwide. Garland, a long‑time A24 collaborator, has directed the 2015 film “Ex Machina,” the 2018 feature “Annihilation,” and the 2024 sci‑fi “Ex Machina,” and is also developing a big‑budget “Elden Ring” adaptation. The new project promises to deepen Garland’s exploration of speculative futures, while Zendaya’s return to the genre signals a fresh chapter for both talent and studio.
