Zendaya is undeniably one of the most talented stars around. She has brought her own touch to MJ in the MCU’s Spider-Man franchise; played a tragic, troubled teenager in HBO’s Euphoria, which recently came to an end; and took on a complex, layered tennis coach in Luca Guadagnino’s critically acclaimed Challengers. The actor’s range is on display for all her fans.
Soon she’ll be playing Greek goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan‘s epic fantasy action film, The Odyssey. Headlined by Matt Damon, the stellar cast also includes Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and more. The feature will release in a week’s time, and all eyes are on it. But Zendaya is just getting her busy year started, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day is just around the corner.
Last we saw Peter and MJ in No Way Home, the latter has forgotten Peter and is moving on to study at MIT. Helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ director Daniel Destin Cretton, the movie will find Peter still fighting crime as Spider-Man, but the new pressures spark a change in him that he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also help Peter to stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves. Fans are very excited about the feature, as it helps fans transition into Avengers: Doomsday this December.
Finally, Zendaya will end the year on a high note (coincidentally on the same day as Doomsday) with Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, where she’ll co-star as Chani opposite Timothee Chalamet’s Paul. The highly anticipated threequel will mark the completion of the long-running franchise. The trailer already shows Paul and Chani in a different stage of life, and it’ll be interesting to see what the film has in store. So, while fans wait for these upcoming theatrical features, they are checking out Zendaya’s psychological thriller that released earlier this year.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your MCU Hero Is…
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
Queens, New York
🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu
🤖 Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
