Zendaya Debuts Spider-Man Tribute Beside Tom Holland at Photo Op

They are already proving to be one of the biggest draws of the summer movie season.

Zendaya and Tom Holland kept the momentum going as they stepped out to promote their much-buzzed-about new movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The Hollywood favorites joined their co-stars on Monday for a stylish photo call at Edge in Hudson Yards, New York City, posing for photographers as excitement around the upcoming Spider-Man film continues to build.

Although neither star arrived in superhero costume, Zendaya still found a subtle way to salute the web-slinging world that has made the franchise a global phenomenon.

Her standout accessory was a pair of sparkling spiderweb earrings, a polished fashion wink to Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Zendaya, 29, styled the statement jewelry with a sleek white blazer, a tie and bold boots, while Holland, 30, complemented her look in a red jacket worn over a button-down shirt with tailored slacks.

The couple were joined by Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Destin Daniel Cretton, and Jon Bernthal.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be released on July 31st and marks just the latest major project Zendaya has completed this year. 

She recently revealed she now plans on taking a break from Hollywood after fitting five projects and a wedding to her husband Tom Holland into the past 12 months.

The actress said that she plans to ‘disappear for a little bit’ following the jam-packed year.

The America star spoke about what she plans to do next at the New York premiere of The Odyssey, after also recently promoting Spider Man: Brand New Day.

Fans also saw her reprise her role of troubled drug-addict Rue in HBO’s Euphoria, as well as opposite Robert Pattinson in The Drama and Chani Dune: Part Three.

Zendaya also voices a new character in Shrek 5, which is slated for a June 2027 release, meaning she has more than had her hands full.

When asked by Entertainment Tonight reporter Emily Curl about what she will do with her time off, she said: ‘Oh girl, nothing. Just mind my business, you know? And stay to myself. 

Zendaya went on: ‘This is such a whirlwind, and you’re kind of like in a new place every second, and your brain is kind of all over the place.’

‘It’s fun and I’m grateful, and I wouldn’t change a thing, but sometimes you need to just, you know, disappear for a little bit.’

During the promotional run for the film, Zendaya detailed the moment Holland was able to tell her she had landed her role in the Nolan epic.

Both Zendaya and her actor partner are in the star-studded cast, which also includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson among others.

Holland was told first that he had been given the part of Telemachus and had begun meeting with director Christopher Nolan about the role.

Recalling the time during an appearance on The Tonight Show, Zendaya told host Jimmy Fallon: ‘Well Tom got the call, Christopher Nolan called. My heart was just so full. I was so excited for him. I mean he’s the best and he deserves this.’

‘And I was just so excited, and obviously I’m his biggest fan but I’m also a Chris Nolan fan. So when that kind of opportunity comes around, I was just so excited. I didn’t even put myself in that equation at all. Like we already won, you know?’

‘So he had another meeting and he had the script, I may have done a little, you know, peeky peek. I gotta know, there’s a Christopher Nolan script in my house,’ the actress shared.

‘So I looked, and then he went off to his meeting and when he came home I was like okay tell me all about it. How was he? What was it like? And I was so ready, so excited.’

It was at this moment Tom told Zendaya she would also be involved, revealing: ‘And he goes, “read this again”, and I was like “why? we just read it last night?”, and he’s like “read it again, but with Athena in mind”.

‘And I was like, “yo stop it right now”. And I was just like, yeah I freaked out. I was so grateful that he got to be the one to tell me. It was so special.’

The cast of The Odyssey have plenty to celebrate as the movie debuted at the top of the North American box office this past weekend.

Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic raked in $124.5 million domestically and $264.1 million globally, according to Variety.

The film which tells the story of the Greek king’s perilous journey home after the Trojan War in a bid to reunite with his beloved wife Penelope also received glowing reviews from critics and audiences.
