Zendaya, Emma Stone and Kirsten Dunst Not only do they have in common the fact that they are Spider-Man actresses (in the Live Action versions starring Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire), but they have all also played tennis stars on film after passing through the Spiderverse. .
On the tour of Challengers of Lucas Guadagnino, Zendaya discovered that there is a meme that shows that the 3 actresses who have played key characters in the different versions of the Peter Parker story later starred in films where they become professional tennis players, to which he responded that perhaps it was a prophecy that she had to fulfill.
None of those tennis movies are connected, but it’s certainly an interesting coincidence that both she and dunst and stone They have gone from playing a comic book character to starring in movies about the same sport. Dunst and Zendaya’s films are even similar, although Dunst’s, who appeared in Civil War by Alex Garlanddoes not have a love triangle at the center.
For its part, Emma Stone She is the only one of the three who played a real character from the world of tennis.
