Holland, then 20, and Zendaya, 19, were cast as Peter Parker and his classmate MJ, respectively. The film marked Holland's first portrayal of the young superhero balancing his dual life.
While their on-screen chemistry was evident and the film garnered positive reviews, the actors initially denied rumors of a romantic involvement, maintaining they were close friends. They even publicly addressed the speculation with humor on social media. Zendaya playfully tweeted about reports of them vacationing together, to which Holland quipped if the press tour counted.
