Warner Bros. released its long-awaited Dune in both theaters and on HBO Max over the weekend, though some fans were rather disappointed at a serious lack of actress Zendaya.
The 25-year-old actress plays Chani in the adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, with many fans assuming it was one of the bigger roles in the movie.
However, after Vulture reported over the weekend that Zendaya is only in seven minutes of the two-hour-35-minute film, many took to Twitter to lash out.

Zendaya's character Chani has her fate intertwined with Timothee Chalamet's Paul Atreides, with both actors revealing in several press interviews that they became 'best friends' on the set.
While fans may have assumed from her presence in the marketing and in press interviews, she is only seen and heard in seven minutes of the film, though it's clear she'll most likely have a much bigger role in the sequel, which still doesn't have an official green light by Warner Bros. yet.
Still, the potential promise of more Zendaya in the sequel didn't stop fans from expressing their frustration on Twitter.
