Zendaya Explains She’s ‘Going Into Hiding’ In 2027 – But It’s Probably Not What You Think
Zendaya has been on one hell of a run lately, with a line-up of five massive movie and TV releases coming out in 2026 alone.
However, she revealed earlier this week that she’s looking to make a major change next year.
In a recent with Fandango, the Emmy winner said she’s planning to take a much-needed break from Hollywood after being booked and busy in 2026, after appearing in the upcoming projects The Drama, Dune: Part Three, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey and the third season of Euphoria.
Zendaya claimed: “I’ll tell you what, after this, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit.”
Joking that she hopes “people don’t get sick of me” after her stream of releases, she warmly thanked her fans for their continued support.
“I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way. I’m deeply appreciative,” she added.
Zendaya’s fans don’t have to panic about her hiatus, though, because she is already set to return to the big screen in 2027 for Shrek 5, alongside returning cast members Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz.
The announcement about Zendaya’s impending intermission comes amid swirling rumours that she recently quietly tied the knot with her fiancé and Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland.
The gossip further erupted earlier this month after Zendaya was spotted wearing what appeared to be a wedding band on her left hand at the 2026 Oscars and Paris Fashion Week. Zendaya and Tom have reportedly been engaged since late 2024.
While the Marvel stars have neither directly addressed nor confirmed the rumours about their nuptials, the couple’s reps also didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this month, the US talk show host told Zendaya that “the internet has gone berserk with stories” about her possibly being married to Tom.
The actor cheekily responded with a smile: “Really? I haven’t seen any of that.”
Zendaya then addressed the faux AI images depicting her supposed wedding ceremony that have been making the rounds online in recent weeks.
“Many people have been fooled by them,” she told the comic. “While I was just out and about in real life and people are like, ‘Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous,’ and I was like, ‘Babe, they’re AI. They’re not real.’”
