"Zendaya’s agent working harder than the Illuminati": Fans joke as she takes over 2026 with big film and TV roles

If Hollywood had a class president, Zendaya would have already been organizing the senior class trip. The lady is booked, busy, and running a 2026 slate herself.

Zendaya will be spearheading a Greek myth, swinging through the MCU, fighting space politics, voicing an ogre princess, and breaking our hearts on HBO.

While this is great news for Z, fans didn’t hold back on the roasts. Some feel like every movie and series is starting to blur together because the same characters keep showing up.

One X user joked:

"Zendaya’s agent working harder than the illuminati."

Ironically enough, her agent might be the Illuminati.

Another user added:

"I feel unemployed 😞"

Zendaya’s career moves just turned this user’s LinkedIn to dust.

A user humorously stated:

"Nolan, Villeneuve, Marvel, HBO, and DreamWorks all calling Zendaya like it’s a group project."

The Hollywood Avengers have assembled.

A user roasted saying:

"She’s gonna play the same person in at least 3 of these."

Different scripts, same Zendaya core aesthetic.

One user jokingly asked:

"Anyone else in Hollywood who is a female?"

The user is officially sending out a Hollywood casting call.

A user went on to say:

"Please stop with Zendaya....stop"

Seems like some have reached their Zendaya saturation point.

One user hilariously declared:

"At this point, it seems like Zendaya is on a conquest to be a part of every animated franchise. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if she showed up in The SpongeBob Movie Search for SquarePants as a surprise guest voicing the unnamed ghost pirate."

No franchise is safe from Zendaya’s world tour.

Shrek 5 (December 23, 2026)

First up, Zendaya is hopping into the swamp. She'll be voicing Shrek's and Fiona's daughter, Felicia, in Shrek 5.

This is the first mainline Shrek film since 2010, and if you believe people aren't willing to toss their cash at the return of this green ogre, you have not encountered the internet.

And she'll be sharing the microphone with Eddie Murphy's Donkey. Nostalgic enthusiasts, new viewers, and X are rolling up for this one.

The Odyssey (July 17, 2026)

Zendaya is also jumping into Greek mythology. In Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, she'll be trekking through ancient epics with a cast that includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron.

The information on her role remains under wraps, but knowing his history, anticipate something visually crazy with twists.

On top of that, this comes out just two weeks before Spider-Man 4, so she's dominating the whole summer box office.

Spider-Man 4 (July 31, 2026)

And speaking of Spider-Man, Zendaya returns as MJ in Spider-Man 4, and she and Tom Holland are still serving relationship goals both on and off-screen.

This one is rumored to be full of tear-jerking romance, web-slinging action, and enough fan theories to keep Reddit going for a decade.

As the MCU continues to grow, her part is only increasing.

Dune: Messiah (December 18, 2026)

Dune: Messiah promises to be the epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve's Dune series, and her role, Chani, is venturing further into the politics of the desert world.

Political backstabbing, betrayal and Timothée Chalamet gazing broodily into the distance are to be expected.

With Villeneuve declaring this to be his final Dune movie, anticipate that this one will be an emotional uppercut with an Oscar buzz side effect.

Euphoria Season 3 (TBA)

Zendaya will also be back as Rue for Euphoria Season 3.

It has been a hot second since Season 2, and the fandom has been hankering for news.

Expect even more catastrophic performances, crazed fan theories, and a look. And, of course, knowing Sam Levinson, it's about to get a lot more messed up.
