Zendaya stars in Alex Garland’s upcoming A24 sci-fi film
Zendaya’s Stellar Year: From Euphoria to Dune and Beyond
Zendaya is currently navigating a whirlwind of cinematic excitement, balancing major film appearances with personal milestones. From the intense drama of her HBO series to epic sci-fi adventures, her recent trajectory has been anything but quiet. She recently shared the spotlight in the provocative A24 film The Drama alongside Robert Pattinson, further cementing her status as a compelling force in modern cinema. Amidst these big screen roles, her latest HBO venture, Euphoria, concluded its run, leaving fans with plenty of memorable moments to savor.
The upcoming slate promises even bigger adventures. In December, anticipation is soaring for her epic sci-fi sequel, Dune: Part Three, which is set to hit theaters. Beyond blockbuster cinema, Zendaya is diving into family-friendly fun, preparing for her role in the next installment of the beloved franchise, Shrek 5. She will be taking on the role of Felicia, Shrek and Fiona’s daughter, joined by Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as her brothers, Fergus and Farkle.
The production of Shrek 5 is helmed by familiar and acclaimed talents, including Conrad Vernon, who previously worked on Shrek 2 and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, and Walt Dohrn, who also contributed to the franchise’s history. This creative team brings a unique blend of animation expertise to the upcoming sequel.
But the most intriguing development lies in the realm of high-concept science fiction. While taking a well-deserved pause after such a busy year, Zendaya is reportedly gearing up for an unprecedented collaboration. Reports indicate that she has signed on to star in a new sci-fi movie directed by Alex Garland and produced by A24. Though the project remains untitled and plot details are tightly guarded, the plans are ambitious: filming is anticipated sometime next year.
Alex Garland, known for his thought-provoking work on films like Civil War and Warfare, is back at the helm for this new project, promising a visually stunning and intellectually stimulating experience. This potential collaboration puts Zendaya at the center of A24’s next major cinematic push, signaling a move toward some of the most ambitious and stylish stories the studio has yet produced.
