In August, Levinson teased limited details about the upcoming installment in an interview with she.

The director offered insight into what would happen to Zendaya’s character, Rue, during the show’s new run of episodes, revealing that her role would be “exploring what it means to be a principled individual in a corrupt world.”

Additionally, he noted that he imagines the show will lean toward ‘film noir.’

Levinson also praised Zendaya’s work ethic and dedication to pushing herself as a performer.

‘She is the most competitive person I know, in a good way. She is constantly growing as an artist and she is always looking for a challenge. “She’s never complacent,” she said.

In April, Barbie revealed that she had left the show because she didn’t want to “portray a fat best friend.”

It came amid rumors of tension between her and showrunner Sam.

The actress, 26, who played Kat Hernandez on two seasons of the show, told Dax Shepard while appearing on his podcast that the character’s stories wouldn’t have “done her justice” and that Levinson didn’t bond with Kat.

Ferreira shocked the world last year when he announced to his 5.8 million social media followers that he would not be reprising his role, but insisted it was a mutual decision.

She told Shepard: ‘I don’t think there was anywhere she could go. I think there were places she could have gone. I just don’t think she would have fit into the show.

“I don’t know if I would do it justice, and I think both parties (Levinson and I) knew that I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend.”

The star added that it was a “struggle” to find stories for her character in season two, which led to a much smaller presence on the show.
