Zendaya Was Coming Off A Wave Of Disney Channel Rejection When She Got Hired For Spider-Man. They Didn’t Know Who She Was
Given her high profile as the actress who played Spider-Man in Hollywood, it’s challenging to envision a Hollywood executive overlooking Zendaya for a significant role these days. However, before Zendaya’s life was irrevocably altered by auditioning for Tom Holland’s MJ, she reportedly yearned for a part in the Disney Channel musical franchise, “The Descendants.” The rejection from that movie turned out to be serendipitous for her, as she has since become a household name.
