Here's everything Zendaya will be up to this year, including 5 very massive projects in each of their own categories. The actress has been away from releasing content for a hot minute, but now that she's back, she's got it all down, starting with her first film of the year, The Drama, alongside Robert Pattinson, with whom she will also join for The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three.
The actress is also slated to promote alongside her fiancé (and now probably husband) Tom Holland, in three releases as well, including their awaited return to the MCU and her comeback as Rue Bennett.

Amid rushed-up preparations and spending the last few moments as an engaged couple, the two meet their friends out to dinner when things go sideways for the couple.
