ZENDAYA WORKS IT

BY: Amanda Jane Stern

Zendaya and her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland recently confirmed that they are, in fact, a couple both on-screen and off. They were photographed making out in a car, and that has been taken as confirmation of their romantic relationship. Aside from possibly starting a new romance, the star has been quite busy over the last year, despite the pandemic. At the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown, she shot a two-person movie opposite John David Washington. The film, Malcolm & Marie, was written and directed by Euphoria creator and Zendaya collaborator Sam Levinson. Zendaya was nominated for Best Actress at the 26th Critics’ Choice Awards for her role.

Let’s take a look at what this A-list star has on the horizon.

 

Euphoria

Zendaya will return to the role that made her the youngest actress to ever win a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the second season of this HBO series about a teenage drug addict. As of now, no release date has been announced for the new season, but Zendaya has teased that it will be even more emotional than her first.

 

Dune

Zendaya plays Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic. The story follows a young nobleman, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), who embarks on a hero’s journey to save his family and people. Chani is an ally and love interest for Paul. After being pushed back multiple times due to the pandemic, Dune is finally slated to premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2021, before it is released in theaters and on HBO Max on October 22, 2021.

 

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Zendaya will reprise her role as Michelle “M.J.” in the next Spider-Man movie. What we know is that this Jon Watts-directed project will follow the events of Spider-Man Far From Home. Other than the title of the film, no new details have been revealed. It is scheduled to be released on December 17, 2021.
