Zendaya Saw Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Movie On Her Very First Date

Spider-Man: No Way Home star, Zendaya has revealed that she once went to see Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man on a first date. The Emmy winner has had a busy year so far after voicing Lola Bunny in the Space Jam sequel and starring alongside John David Washington in Malcolm and Marie, and it looks set to continue as she will appear in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming adaptation of Dune when it hits theatres in a few weeks. The star is also set to reprise her role as MJ in Spider-Man: No Way Home later this yearalongside a slew of exciting additions to the cast, including Alfred Molina who will return to his role from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 as Doc Ock.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Zendaya stars alongside Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the latest iteration of the classic web-slinging hero. Audiences have certainly become well-acquainted with the story of Peter Parker over the years, with Holland’s Parker being the third live-action adaption of the character, following in the footsteps of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who both previously starred on the big screen as the superhero. Garfield appeared as Peter Parker in both The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, released in 2012 and 2014 respectively, alongside Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey and Sally Field as Aunt May.

Now, Zendaya has revealed that she actually went to see The Amazing Spider-Man on a first date when she was younger. Speaking to InStyle, the star was asked if she ever thought she would be a part of the Spider-Man franchise, to which she responded “definitely not.” The star then divulged that she saw the Andrew Garfield movie in theatres, on a date when she was 16 years old. Check out Zendaya’s full quote below.

No, definitely not. I had no idea that was coming. I actually went to see Spider-Man on my first date when I was 16. The version with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

While Zendaya didn’t share what she thought of the movie, there is often a lot of debate surrounding which of the three iterations takes the top spot when it comes to telling the story of Spider-Man, and Garfield’s two films often rank considerably lower than both Maguire and Holland’s appearances. Garfield himself even recently revealed that he thinks Holland is the perfect Peter Parker and that he prefers to see the films from a fan perspective, rather than donning the iconic suit.

Zendaya had a considerably larger role within Spider-Man: Far From Home than she did in Spider-Man: Homecoming and fans are certainly hoping to see even more of MJ in this upcoming release. With rumors swirling of a possible appearance from Garfield’s Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home, this potential crossover could be a true full-circle moment for the star. Whether Zendaya and Garfield cross paths in the MCU remains to be seen, but all will be revealed when Spider-Man: No Way Home releases later this year.
