While the vast canvas of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plans to go on forever, the expanding world may not always harbor a place for Tom Holland and Zendaya to return as Spider-Man and MJ. The two actors have a multitude of ongoing projects at hand and their fledgling careers are already speckled with a diverse and impressive filmography.
But beyond the glitter and the glamor of Hollywood and LA, the young stars in love look just as happy as they were a year ago and Tom Holland could very well be planning to make this happy state of mind a permanent fixture in both his and Zendaya’s life. As per the news on the grapevine, talk of settling down is a subject of the near future for the young Spider-Man actor.
Tom Holland and Zendaya May Be Looking to Settle Down
When Spider-Man: Homecoming premiered in 2017, the adorable teenage cast of the MCU film stole the spotlight from Marvel juggernauts and easily became one of the highest-grossing films of the franchise. Tom Holland became the youngest MCU actor to bag a solo superhero trilogy and is already negotiating the complex terms of the agreement between Marvel and Sony for a fourth film. Throughout his brave and often tragic evolution, Zendaya‘s MJ has been a constant and loyal presence who has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and aided in his heroic misadventures, and grown and evolved with him in the continuity of the mainstream timeline.

However, as wonderful and immortal as the love story of Spider-Man and MJ has been for Marvel comic enthusiasts, the fictional romance falls short of the reality-defying love that Tom Holland and Zendaya hold for each other, ever since their relationship was made public a year ago. Their time together since then has been defined by the steady presence of the actors on each other’s sides and all-encompassing support for their careers and accomplishments.
Even though it has merely been a year, the mutual respect and adoration the two hold for each other reveal a depth of commitment that is not surprising considering how Tom Holland has been hinting that he wants to settle down, marry, have children, and take a break from acting numerous times over the past couple of years.
Tom Holland Talks About Privacy, Marriage & Taking a Break
When the roving eyes of the ever-snooping paparazzi invaded the privacy of Tom Holland and Zendaya, exposing the formative period of their relationship, the former had grown increasingly vocal about the importance of respecting people’s privacy and their boundaries, taking frequent breaks from social media, and speaking about taking a hiatus from acting itself to pursue a more centered lifestyle. A year ago, the Uncharted actor made a declaration via Teen Vogue saying,
“I might go and be a carpenter for two years, and take a big break, and come back. Or I might not come back. I might go away, and get married, and have kids, and just disappear for the rest of my life.”

Recently, he took a break from Instagram citing that he wanted to prioritize his mental health. Now, an insider source with access to the couple has told Us Weekly about the current relationship between Zendaya and Tom Holland and claimed they are quite “serious and permanent,” and that, “They’re both in settling-down mode and are absolutely planning for a real future together.”
Whether the rumors are indeed true or just another attempt at creating viral news (like the recent pregnancy hoax about the Emmy-winning producer and actress Zendaya) is not yet clear. Regardless, the fans expect incredible things from the pair, and seeing how they have already made a mark in Hollywood, one would not be surprised to witness Tom Holland exploring other avenues in his life. Zendaya, too, has branched off into modeling and producing alongside maintaining a prominent acting career and is currently prepping for Dune: Part Two and HBO’s Euphoria Season 3.
MCU’s Spider-Man trilogy is available for streaming on Starz.
