The duo’s chemistry first sparked on set during the filming of 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, and fans are eagerly hoping to see their beloved characters reunite again.
At the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Tom shared several rare comments about his and Zendaya’s private lives and how they’re revisiting the film.
Speak with ExtraTom said, “Zendaya and I will watch Spider-Man 1 every now and then and reminisce about being 19 and making those movies again.
“I love those movies and I enjoy enjoying those moments, so I try not to watch them as much as I would like because it’s so special. It’s such a luxury, such a gift to be able to sit down and relive your youth a little bit.”
He also revealed that the Euphoria actress supports him in his career, explaining that she regularly watched his series The Crowded Room and gave him feedback.
Tom said, “She looked [The Crowded Room] with me while we were editing it – I sent her episodes and asked her what she thought, so she’s definitely seen it more times than I expected her to see it.”

He and Zendaya eventually went public with their relationship in 2021, but it’s believed they started dating as early as 2017.
As for the delay of the third season of Zendaya’s Euphoria, the show’s creator, writer and director Sam Levinson spent much of 2022 shooting his series The Idol, starring The Weeknd and Lily- Rose Depp.
It wasn’t until January of this year that HBO and Max Content CEO Casey Bloys confirmed to Deadline that Levinson had begun writing Euphoria season three scripts.
The new season is expected to debut in 2025.
