Zendaya 2026 Films
Zendaya has an phenomenal film lineup this year, including The Drama, The Odyssey, Spider-man: Brand New Day, and Dune: Part Three. The third season of Euphoria also came out this year, starring Zendaya as a girl named Rue. Her performance this year has been astounding, and I have gotten the privilege to see all of her movies (besides Dune, which comes out this winter) and want to review each one.
The Drama features Zendaya and Rob Pattinson as a bride, Emma, and groom, Charlie, who were to be married in a weeks time. However, during their rehearsal dinner, a dark part of Emma’s past is revealed, and Charlie starts to have major doubts. The film falls into a series of chaotic events, hence the name of the film. Zendaya and Rob’s performances were intriguing, and had me invested in film the whole time. I ultimately rate this film a 8.5/10.

The Odyssey was definetly one of my favorite films that came out this year, and I got to see it 3 times in theatres(once was in Spainsh). Ultimately, the cast was full of big actors, including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and of course Zendaya. Zenday played the part of Athena, and had a smaller role compared to the other actors. While she still performed well, I believe that other actors outshined Zendaya. Also considering that she is a very widely know actress, I didn’t quite see Athena, I saw Zendaya. Despite this, she did an incredible job and had a positive contribution to the film. I rate this film a 9.9/10.
Spider-man: Brand New Day featured Tom Holland as Spiderman and Zendaya has MJ. I really liked this film, however I was expecting more. In the previous Spiderman movie, Peter had to wipe everyone's memory of Spiderman, so MJ no longer remember who he was. While I do think how the film played out was done well, something felt missing. I also felt that there were some holes in the film, but maybe I missed some important details. I would like to re-watch this film, but rate it a 8/10.
Although Dune: Part Three has not come out yet, Zendayas performance in the other Dune films have been captivating. The Dune films feature Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, and both actors provide an investing and powerful performance. I am excited to see Rob Pattinson working with Zendaya again in the upcoming Dune:Part Three movie.
