shared with variety it just felt like the right thing to do these are the people that are laying all the tracks and were with us through the whole thing and literally putting their Blood Sweat and Tears into it Senda returned as MJ for 2019 Spider-Man far from home and 2021s no way home she takes on a more significant role in both installments in the latter she's trying to help Peter Parker as villain from several different timelines appear on their Earth the gang teams up with a Spider-Man fro
m those timelines to put the villains back in their place why you do that trying to see if you have the tingle thing MJ experienced plenty of growth over the trilogy Zena shared in a behind the scenes featurette that she enjoyed watching the two characters rely on each other and grow together in different ways in 2021 Zena joined a well-known franchise when she took over as the voice of Lola Bunny and Space Jam a new Legacy Landing the gig was a huge moment for the actor not only because Lola is
an iconic character but also because of the people involved with the sequel Zena told Entertainment Weekly it was flattering because I got a call from Ryan cougler who is a producer on the film I've always wanted to work with him she appreciates the reimagining of the character who underwent a redesign for the new movie to be less provocative and have a more developed personality this decision received backlash online which zendo wasn't expecting at all she continued I didn't know that was goin
g to happen I definitely know we love her but I didn't know it was going to be as much of a focus as it was despite the reaction to Lola's new appearance Zena is happy to have had the chance to be a part of the franchise saying that it was a great experience Zena continued with sci-fi and fantasy films taking on the role of charie and Deni V's Dune franchise Chie is a fman warrior who for most of the first movie appears in Paul the trad's Visions she becomes his love interest in the second film
the films are based on the book of the same name by Frank Herbert published in 1965 despite being a significant ific part of the marketing campaign for Dune Zena only appeared in the first film for 7 minutes there was initial disappointment from movie goers though the director confirmed the goal was for Chie and other characters to appear more in Doom part two biller shared with the Los Angeles Times there are some characters that are less developed that I'm keeping for the second film that's th
e way I found the equilibrium then in the second one I will have time to develop some characters that were left aside a little bit the second movie brings shie back putting her in the center of the action but that isn't without trials and tribulations as a film comes to a close Senda said during an interview with comicbook.com there's heartbreak there's betrayal there's loss and confusion I feel like it's quite a painful ending it doesn't end like oh someone won it's not that it's a lot of Broke

@Looper

What has been your favorite performance by Zendaya so far?

@elizabethb1096

It’s sooo AMAZING!! Like it’s almost as if she aged and became an adult! She’s no longer 11! 😱 She is the first person to do that.

@doctorawesomeness6922

I first known her as Rocky in Shake It Up.

@markthomas6236

I love what you do

@iadiramorales68

She’s passionate about who she is, that’s why she lights up, and why she succeeds, plus she enjoys being who she is as an artist!! ❤

@SeducedMonk3y

Yes we can, cause some of us never started.

@jimbo9208

@SpammytheHedgehog

Zendaya is that Disney star that was destined for greatness.

@bladebarnes7884

@Myh582

@conquerorofbabylon

Zendaya is JLo’s biological daughter.

@chriselder9283

She is fantastic

@johnboylong40

With the world and politics the way it is I guess you all have to hype something but I hope she doesn’t pay the high cost many of these young people pay traveling through the entertainment meat grinder.

@sieraclayton1503

Brilliantly Multi-Talented Zendaya is wonderful. Zendaya acts, dances, writes, paints/draws, sings, produces, is a marvelous photographer, etc. etc. etc. Moreover, Amazing Zendaya is funny, charming, kind, hardworking, charitable, family-oriented, diplomatic, and loyal. May God always bless you and yours, Zendaya! I've enjoyed Zendaya's fantastic performances since her DISNEY DAYS. Her work on the spy comedy, KC UNDERCOVER is great! Her doing most of her own stunts as a Trapeze Artist in her hit film, THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, is impressive. And Zendaya performing way up in the air that While singing and acting simultaneously in that film is jaw-dropping. Zendaya's latest role as Chani in DUNE: PART TWO is mesmerizing. She should be remembered at OSCAR time. It's hard to choose a favorite role. But overall, I prefer her wholesome ones.

@jenniferpowers7006

Beautiful, talented and oh yes class! Love her…..

@John-wn4ow

She went from a teeny bopper to gorgeous in just a few yrs and she can act.

@MrScotty5877304

I dont get the hype about her she's not ugly or a bad actress, but i dont think she's drop dead gorgeous and hugely talented either. Very meh always plays the same type of angsty, stroppy teen aswell
