Zendaya stunned fans worldwide after dropping the first look poster of her upcoming romantic comedy The Drama, co-starring Robert Pattinson. The poster immediately sent social media into a frenzy, with fans celebrating the fresh, unexpected pairing and declaring it a potential turning point for the rom-com genre.
The poster features Zendaya and Pattinson in a soft, intimate frame that radiates chemistry, prompting an explosion of theories within minutes of release. But one detail has grabbed the most attention—a ring on Zendaya’s finger. The blink-and-you-miss-it accessory launched an online detective mission, with fans speculating that her character may be engaged to Pattinson’s in the film. With its April 3, 2026 release date still far away, anticipation is already sky-high.
The internet, unsurprisingly, went wild. One fan wrote, “I’m seated. The theatre employees are scared and asking me to leave because it’s not even April 3rd 2026 yet, but I’m simply too seated.” Another joked, “girl i thought u were engaged to robert pattinson!” Meanwhile, a third fan chimed in with the now-viral line: “Batman really stealing Spidey’s girl!”—a playful nod to Pattinson’s Batman and Zendaya’s fiancé Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.

The excitement extends beyond The Drama. Zendaya and Pattinson are also teaming up for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey, where they will portray Athena and Antinous. Scheduled to release on July 17, the film is already one of the most anticipated titles on Nolan’s slate.
The Drama is produced by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen under the Square Peg banner, continuing their successful collaboration with A24—known for acclaimed films like Hereditary, Midsommar, Dream Scenario, and Death of a Unicorn. With Square Peg and A24 backing a rom-com led by two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, expectations are soaring.
Both actors have an exceptionally packed lineup. Pattinson was last seen in Die My Love opposite Jennifer Lawrence and is set to appear in Dune: Part Three, reprising his role as Scytale, along with The Batman: Part II and Here Comes the Flood. Zendaya is gearing up for her return as MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Rue in the final season of Euphoria, and Chani in Dune: Part Three.
With two major collaborations and a viral poster already dominating the conversation, Zendaya and Pattinson are poised to become one of Hollywood’s most exciting new on-screen duos.
