Every Tom Holland and Zendaya Film Together — and the 2026 That Made Them Hollywood's Biggest Couple

Where it started, on both counts. Zendaya was cast as the sardonic classmate 'Michelle' in a part that was barely a part until the last scene revealed her initials; Holland was a twenty-year-old gymnast-turned-actor who had already stolen Captain America: Civil War. They have both described the audition process as the first time they met, in 2016. As a film it is still the lightest and most enjoyable of the four — a high-school comedy that happens to have Michael Keaton in a winged suit.

The one where MJ becomes a lead rather than a running joke, and the one that made the pairing the reason a lot of people were buying tickets. It is also the film they were promoting when the denials were at their most strenuous. Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio carries the plot; the bridge scene where Peter admits who he is carries the franchise.

The commercial peak of the pre-2026 era — $1.92 billion worldwide, still the eighth-biggest film ever made — and the one where the relationship stopped being deniable, since they were photographed together during its release. The ending, in which MJ is left with no memory of him, is the single best piece of acting either of them has done in the franchise, and it works precisely because by then the audience knew. Streaming in India on JioHotstar and SonyLIV.

Their first film together outside Spider-Man, and the one nobody saw coming. Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer casts Holland as Telemachus, the son searching for a father twenty years gone, and Zendaya as Athena, the goddess who appears to Odysseus at the turning points and pushes him home. It opened on 17 July to $264 million worldwide — the biggest global debut of Nolan's career — and has since passed $1.12 billion, making it his highest-grossing film ever, ahead of both Batman sequels. It is also the first feature shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film. For a couple who have spent a decade refusing to discuss each other, choosing a Nolan production as the place to break out of the franchise is about as private a way to do it as exists.

The biggest film of 2026 and the biggest opening weekend in the history of the medium: $360.1 million domestically across three days, beating a record Avengers: Endgame had held since 2019, then $1 billion worldwide inside six days and $42 million on a single Tuesday in August, which is also a record. It arrived two weeks after The Odyssey, meaning the couple had the year's two biggest films in cinemas simultaneously. It is also the first Spider-Man film they have appeared in as a married couple, though neither of them will say so. Still in cinemas — no India streaming date has been announced.

Zendaya alone, in December. She returns as Chani for Denis Villeneuve's conclusion to the trilogy, opposite Timothée Chalamet and with Robert Pattinson joining for the finale. It is scheduled for 18 December 2026 — the same day as Avengers: Doomsday, a collision the internet has already named 'Dunesday' and which neither studio has yet blinked on. Chani's arc is the one the second film left most obviously unresolved, so this is the closest thing Zendaya has to a lead-carrying franchise of her own.

The film that settled the argument about whether Zendaya could carry an adult drama. Luca Guadagnino's tennis triangle gave her a producing credit and the most complicated character she has played — Tashi Duncan is not likeable and is not written to be — and it remains the strongest single performance in either of their filmographies. Rent or subscription depending on the market; the platform chip below is the India position.

The other half of Zendaya's career, and the reason she has two Emmys — she won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2020 for the first season, becoming the youngest winner in the category's history, and again in 2022. Sam Levinson's series finally returned for a third season on 12 April 2026, four years after the second, and HBO confirmed the show had ended for good when the eighth episode aired on 31 May. So 2026 gave Zendaya both the close of the role that made her and the biggest box office year of her life, three months apart.

Holland's attempt at a second franchise, adapted from the PlayStation series, with Mark Wahlberg as Sully. It made roughly $407 million worldwide, which was enough for Sony to talk about a sequel and not enough for anyone to be in a hurry. Included here because it marks the point at which Holland was clearly trying to build something outside Marvel — a project that The Odyssey has now comprehensively achieved instead.

The Netflix film Holland made in the gap between Spider-Man pictures, opposite Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgård and Sebastian Stan — a grim southern-gothic thriller in which nobody is redeemed. It is the least Spider-Man thing on his CV, and the clearest early evidence that the casting directors who put him in The Odyssey were not taking a wild swing.
