Zendaya plans to disappear after packed 2026 slate, fears fans may get sick of her

If 2026 belongs to anyone in Hollywood, it might just be Hollywood star Zendaya. With a packed slate spanning blockbuster films and a major television return, The Drama star fears her fans may get ‘sick of her’. In a new interview, she also said that she plans to ‘go into hiding’ after this. While speaking with Fandango, Zendaya revealed that she plans to “disappear for a little bit” once her hectic release calendar wraps up.
Expressing gratitude to her fans, she said, “I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way. I’m deeply appreciative. I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year because, I’ll tell you what, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit.”
The Emmy-winning actor headlines an impressive line-up of projects in 2026. She kicks off the year with The Drama, directed by Kristoffer Borgli, releasing on April 3. In the film, she plays Emma Harwood, a bookstore clerk engaged to a British museum director, played by Robert Pattinson. Their relationship takes a complicated turn as unsettling truths surface ahead of their wedding.
Just days later, Zendaya will reprise her role as Rue in the third season of Euphoria, premiering on April 12, a comeback fans have been eagerly waiting for.
After a brief pause, she moves into blockbuster territory with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, set to release on July 17. Later that month, she reunites with partner Tom Holland for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, slated for July 31.
The year wraps up on a grand note with Dune: Part Three, arriving on December 18. There is also speculation about her involvement in Avengers: Doomsday, which could further add to her already stacked schedule.
Following this whirlwind year, Zendaya plans to take a step back from public life. However, her absence may be brief. The actor is expected to return in mid-2027 to promote Shrek 5, where she lends her voice to Felicia, alongside returning stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz.
