A24 has once again hit the headlines with its upcoming film, The Drama. This time the buzz is primarily because the movie will star two of the most happening names in the movie industry, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.
Although the details of the movie are mostly under wraps, the lead actors’ recent on-set interaction has already started hyping the movie. Although Tom Holland is making news for his protective instincts toward Zendaya, netizens are talking about her chemistry with Pattinson.
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s Chemistry Looks Promising to Fans
After the success of Dream Scenario, A24 has once again decided to collaborate with director Kristoffer Borgli for its upcoming movie The Drama. The movie will be centered around Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, who will play the roles of an engaged couple.
The movie will likely show their life, which suddenly takes an unexpected turn just before their big day. The plot details are scarce, but the premise alone is enough for the fans to start speculating about the potential storyline.
According to Zendaya Fan Account on X, the actors were seen shooting at Phillips Academy in Andover. Moreover, some more recent footage shows Zendaya and Pattinson filming the movie on the streets of Boston.
Netizens have particularly noticed the candid interaction between the co-stars that reflected their natural chemistry. Both Zendaya and Pattinson were seen smiling and having a good time during the shoot.

The co-stars’ natural rapport might prove beneficial for the film. According to Deadline, Zendaya first showed interest in the movie, which began its hype, and later it got boosted by the addition of Pattinson.
Along with the lead actors, the film will also feature Alana Haim, who made her Golden Globe-nominated debut in Licorice Pizza. Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone will be producing the movie under the banner of their production company, Square Peg.
Tom Holland’s Protective Instincts for Zendaya
While Zendaya’s on-screen chemistry with Robert Pattinson is gaining attention, her real-life romance with Tom Holland is making headlines as well. Zendaya and Holland have been dating since they started working in Spider-Man movies. The couple later confirmed their relationship in 2021.
Despite being in a relationship for that long, Holland has recently revealed his tendency to googling his girlfriend. However, he admitted it to be more of an anxiety thing than anything else. In a conversation on Sama Dada’s On The Menu podcast, Holland said,
I’m not on socials, and I delete [the apps] when I’m not using [them]. So sometimes I — it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing — but like I’ll check, to see if everything’s good and just make sure we’re all cool…So I just give it a little Google, look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine,’
Moreover, Holland recently showed his protective nature towards Zendaya when he shielded her against swarming paparazzi and pulled her from the crowd, shoving people out of the way (via Entertainment Tonight). Holland previously told The Hollywood Reporter,
Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of, and we want to keep as sacred as possible. We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.
While Holland and Zendaya’s relationship prospers, it will be interesting to see how her promising on-screen chemistry with Pattinson reflects in the result of their upcoming movie The Drama.
