Zendaya has ruled both small and big screens for the past few years. Her portrayal of Rue in HBO Max’s Euphoria not only made the show a fan favorite but also made her the youngest woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress.
The actress, 27, has secured several notable roles in movies, such as Chani in Dune and Anne Wheeler in The Greatest Showman. However, before taking on any of those roles, she established herself in the superhero genre by playing Michelle Jones, also known as ‘Mj’, in the MCU’s Spider-Man films. In fact, her first major motion picture role was in 2017 with Spider-Man: Homecoming, and she went on to star in its follow-ups.

This article contains some spoilers for Spider-man: No Way Home
Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon have just made one of the highest-grossing movies of all time! What are they going to do next? Well, the answer probably isn’t “Go to Disneyland,” because Disney has likely already brought their biggest money-makers to the happiest place on earth. But the talents behind 2021’s most popular movie Spider-Man: No Way Home certainly have a lot of good work ahead of them!
Tom Holland
Before swinging into Captain America: Civil War as Spider-Man, Tom Holland impressed viewers by playing Billy Elliot on stage and a teenager surviving a tsunami in J.A. Bayona’s The Impossible. Holland’s natural charm and youthful wit made him a pleasing screen presence. But as Peter Parker graduates high school and moves onto the real world, it’s clear that Holland is ready for more complex and adult roles.

Zendaya, an actress who goes by just one name, is returning to the role recognizable by just two letters: Mj. Granted, those initial don’t stand for “Mary Jane” but rather “Michelle Jones,” who served as the famous redhead’s McU equivalent in last year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and will continue to do so in next year’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.
The Disney Channel star took to social media this week with a photo of Jacob Batalon, in which the actor known for playing Peter Parker’s best friend Ned wields an acoustic guitar and possibly gets ready to strum out a tune.
Zendaya and Batalon aren’t the only familiar faces confirmed to be back for the superhero sequel, though. Hemky Madera, who featured in Homecoming as the Deli-Grocery owner Mr. Delmar, was spotted on set recently with Tom Holland, who evidently’s also returning for the upcoming...
