Zendaya Almost Starred in a Surprising Disney Franchise Instead of Spider-Man
Zendaya may be the star of two major franchises, playing M.J. in the Spider-Man trilogy and Chani in the Dune films, but there is another fan-favorite film series that she was almost a part of, possibly instead of Spider-Man. According to former Disney Channel executive Cornelia Frame, Zendaya auditioned “many times” for an undisclosed role in Descendants. Zendaya had previously been a star in Disney Channel series Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover as well as had starred in two Disney Channel movies, Frenemies and Zapped.
