Tom Holland and Zendaya have not only won our hearts as the beloved Spider-Man and MJ, but there is a possibility that they are weaving a romantic web of their own that might finally break the Spider-Man curse. Yes, the recent report claims that the couple is currently talking about getting hitched soon.
Isn’t it thrilling to imagine that the one Spidey pair to make the switch from on-screen chemistry to off-screen matrimony might be right before our eyes? Given the franchise’s history, previous Spider-Man couples have steered clear of real-life aisle-walking, which makes this blossoming love story all the more enchanting—and, let’s admit, a bit surreal.
As keen observers of Spider-Man’s cinematic lore, fans find Holland and Zendaya’s reported future plans not just riveting gossip, but a hopeful narrative shift that’s “good for them” and delightful for those rooting for a happily ever after.
Zendaya and Tom Holland Rumored to Be Planning for Marriage (Soon)?
Indeed, word of Tom Holland and Zendaya’s reported marriage is causing a stir amongst Spider-Man fans. If the rumors are true, this would be the first time a real-life romance between Spider-Man’s film lead actors has reached the altar. Zendaya and Holland, both 27, could eventually walk down the aisle.
People was informed by a source about the couple that
“There has been talk of marriage, and that is a reality.”
In 2016, the two got together while collaborating on the Spider-Man trilogy. The insider added:
“They are not the kind of stars who put their lives together out there on social media for the most part.”
According to the source, “both are private”, adding that it “has never been easy or comfortable for either of them” to have their romance in the public eye. As per the person close to the actors,
“Work is important to both [of them] and that keeps them busy now”.
It came after the Euphoria actress revealed to Vogue earlier this month that her boyfriend has handled his quick ascent to fame in Hollywood “beautifully”. Zendaya gave a lovely explanation:
“We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man. I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”
Thus far, Holland has played the Marvel superhero in three flicks: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The United Kingdom-born actor has also donned the role of Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
A New Dawn for Tom Holland, Zendaya: Escaping the Shadow of Spider-Man Curse?
Many fans have pointed out the infamous ‘Spider-Man curse’, in which previous Spider-Man actors, including Tobey Maguire and Andrey Garfield, saw their relationships with their on-screen leading ladies come to an end. The real-life love story that has blossomed behind the scenes may finally have a happy ending thanks to Tom Holland and Zendaya’s above-reported plans.
The romance theme, which has appeared in several universes and been portrayed by three different actors— Maguire, Garfield, and Holland—is one aspect that ties all of the Spider-Man stories together. For many fans, the ultimate fairy tale ending would be to see their favorite superhero couple marry in real life. And the chemistry between Holland and Zendaya is palpable both on and off-screen, with their flirtatious quips and sincere admiration for each other shining through in interviews.
