Zendaya movies & series to watch this weekend on OTT: From Spider-Man and Malcolm & Marie to Euphoria, must-watch picks

Looking for something entertaining to watch this weekend? Zendaya has built an impressive screen career, moving effortlessly between superhero blockbusters, musical dramas, intense romances and dark coming-of-age stories. From Spider-Man: Homecoming to Euphoria, here are five Zendaya movies and shows worth adding to your weekend watchlist.

Zendaya joined the Marvel universe with Spider-Man: Homecoming, starring alongside Tom Holland as Peter Parker. The film follows Peter as he tries to balance school life with his growing responsibilities as Spider-Man. Things become complicated when Adrian Toomes, better known as the Vulture, enters the picture and begins selling powerful weapons made using advanced alien technology.

Challengers takes Zendaya into a much more intense and complicated world. She plays Tashi, a former tennis prodigy who becomes a coach and helps transform her husband into a champion. When his career hits a rough patch, he enters a tournament where he must face his former best friend, who also happens to be Tashi’s former boyfriend. The result is a tense mix of sport, ambition, romance and rivalry.

​Although it is a series rather than a film, Euphoria deserves a place on any Zendaya weekend watchlist. She plays Rue Bennett, a teenager navigating addiction, relationships, friendship, identity and the pressures of growing up. The dark coming-of-age drama explores the messy lives of its young characters while giving Zendaya one of her most acclaimed performances.

For something quieter and more dialogue-driven, Malcolm & Marie is worth a watch. Zendaya stars opposite John David Washington in this black-and-white drama, which follows a filmmaker and his girlfriend as they return home after a film premiere. What begins as an evening together gradually turns into an emotionally charged confrontation about their relationship, careers and unresolved feelings.

If you are in the mood for music, spectacle and an inspiring underdog story, The Greatest Showman is a fun pick. Hugh Jackman plays P.T. Barnum, a visionary who builds a sensational entertainment empire from scratch. Zendaya plays Anne Wheeler, a talented trapeze artist whose story adds romance and emotion to the musical drama.
