Zendaya never takes a break. Just when you think that she’s enjoying a little me-time, seemingly absent from a theater’s marquee, she’s actually filming multiple movies back to back. It’s called hustling! By next year, we won’t be able to get enough of Zendaya (or her fiancé, Tom Holland), and it feels like the ending of Holes: a refreshing burst of rain after a drought. Below, all of Zendaya’s upcoming roles from those coming soon to the ones coming eventually.

The Dramadirected and written by Dream Scenario‘s Kristoffer Borgli, follows “a romance that takes an unexpected turn before a couple’s big day.” She’ll be reuniting with Robert Pattinson, with whom she’s billed alongside on both The Odyssey and (reportedly) Dune: Part Three. It’s our first Zendaya release of the year, coming out April 3, 2026, as counter-programming to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Will Rue finally make her way back to Euphoria? Yes, but who knows when? Z debuted a first look at the third season of the HBO hit earlier this year and reports of a Spring 2026 release came on October 17. New cast members include Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, and Trisha Paytas.

Gotta bring back the classics for Zendaya’s return to the big screen. While her specific role isn’t known, there are plenty of options for her in Christopher Nolan’s July 17 adaptation, like one of the sirens or Circe. And it’s with Tom Holland, who’s playing Odysseus’s son, Telemachus.

Daya returns as MJ for the fourth time in Marvel’s next Spider-Man movie on July 31, 2026. The last time we saw her, MJ doesn’t remember Peter Parker, and they’re technically broken up. Sad, but it’s the perfect weekend to do an ever-important TomDaya double feature with The Odyssey.

Third times the charm. Well, maybe not for Chani. Zendaya’s returning to Arrakis in Dune: Part Three, out around the holidays on December 18, 2026. Timothée Chalamet also involved.

Shrek and Fiona have teenage triplets now, it seems like just yesterday they were on their honeymoon. Zendaya is playing their daughter, in the latest sequel now set to be released on June 30, 2027, just in time for the Fourth of July. And it’s not to be confused with the separate, Eddie Murphy-led Donkey spin-off.

Directed by Barry Jenkins and written by Dave Kajganich, Zendaya will play the beloved Ronnie Spector in an upcoming biopic with A24. There hasn’t been word yet on if production has started on the movie or not, however, Z did get Spector’s stamp of approval before she died in 2022, as Spector hand-selected Zendaya for the role.
