Although her participation in the superhero sequel has yet to be confirmed, it is likely that Zendaya would reprise her role as MJ in that film, as her character is an integral part of the personal conflict that No way home established for Peter Parker in its closing moments. (Spoiler alert: MJ no longer has any memory of Peter, nor does anyone else in his life, due to a universe-shaking spell, which seems like a pretty big problem for the titular hero.)

Zendaya will next star opposite Robert Pattinson (who himself worked with Holland in The devil all the time) i The dramaa romance film from Dream scenario filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli.
