Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet's sci-fi extravaganza Dune hit HBO Max yesterday, winning over the internet and the very likely the box office now that it's out in cinemas today.

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert — a mega-fan of Frank Herbert's novel that inspired the movie — challenged the stars to a game: "Duner or Later". The pair had to determine whether the things being named were older or younger than the release of the original book in 1965. This included the Star Wars franchise, dune buggies (Chalamet didn't know what those are!), Doritos, and the Late Show host himself.

Colbert also asked Zendaya and Chalamet if another movie in the Dune franchise is on the horizon.

"Is the second part being made?" he asks.

"Yo, we're asking the same question," said Zendaya. So are a lot of people.

Dune is out now in theaters and on HBO Max.
