The 29-year-old American actress and singer shared her thoughts on working alongside her partner, Holland, in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. She told Elle in an interview, "Spider-Man was a dream come true; I get to go to work every day with my best friend and the person that I love. We even bring our dogs to work; it's like a family affair."

"We grew up on those movies! It's like coming home," Zendaya added, referring to the fan-favorite franchise.

In the upcoming film, after four years of Dr. Stephen Strange's spell at the end of the 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home, Parker "anonymously protects New York City as the hero Spider-Man and investigates a powerful new threat while his superpowers undergo a surprising and potentially dangerous evolution," according to its synopsis.

It's worth noting that Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which also stars Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Michael Mando, Mark Ruffalo, Tramell Tillman, Krondon, Melanie Scrofano, and others in addition to Zendaya and Tom Holland, is set to be released on July 31, 2026.
