From Disney to the Big Screen, Every Role Zendaya Has Played

In the first MCU Spider-Man movie, Peter's just starting to get his footing as a superhero, and he actually has another romantic interest for most of the film. But following the footsteps of the canonical characters, Peter and MJ gradually grow close.
