Zendaya Talks Spider-Man Role & Living with Her Parents on ELLEN

Zendaya confirmed her role in the Spider-Man reboot today, March 23 during her appearance on ELLEN. Zendaya is set to star alongside Tom Holland in the new reboot, though she hesitant to reveal who she will be playing in the movie.

When asked about auditioning for the part Zendaya told Ellen, “It’s very exciting. When it comes to the acting space, I’m basically unknown. I’ve never been in a real movie before or anything like that, so I had to start from the bottom like anyone else. I auditioned and auditioned and auditioned and [broke] down those walls, because a lot of people do have that pre-conceived notion of who I am based off previous things I’ve done, so you got to really break that down and go hard, put in the work, take all the meetings, take all the auditions.”

During her interview, she also talked her Kids’ Choice Awards speech and still living with her parents. You can watch part of her interview above. Zendaya is literally too cute for words. She always gives great interviews. Also, can we talk about how excited I am to see her in the Spider-Man reboot?! She is going to be so good in it!
