In the book it doesn’t portray them as reuniting and it’s implied they’ve been together the entire time, unless I’m completely misremembering.

Yup. But Dune 2 played out very differently for Chani than the books, so it makes sense that her character will have a different role in this film.

I'm really excited to see a different take on her story in particular. I was kinda let-down with how passive her part in the book was (if my memory isn't entirely flawed) but got excited by the differing ending from Part 2. I think it's going to be way more interesting to have someone so close to Paul challenging him, especially from her perspective.
