Zendaya is known for playing MJ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As you can see below, however, Zendaya has been portrayed as part of the DC Universe – specifically as The Flash.
It’s certainly a big jump for someone who hasn’t played a superhero. Of course, Zendaya’s career has been booming lately, with appearances in everything from Dune to Euphoria. In fact, there are even reports that she could be appearing in a new iteration of The Fly.
As such, what about The Flash? Well, actor Ezra Miller is currently attached to the role. And while they’ll be appearing as the character in the upcoming film adaptation – it’s unknown what the future holds. Miller has been involved with several legal debacles that could make a recast likely. And though Zendaya would unlikely be the one chosen to take the part – GFR still imagined what that could look like.
One aspect that fans will notice is that Zendaya isn’t wearing the iconic mask. Of course, as they note, actor Grant Gustin from the Flash television series often removes his as well. This also better gives fans an idea of what Zendaya could look like as the character. As for the superhero suit itself, it appears to be quite faithful to past iterations, with the iconic Flash logo front-and-center.
Here’s their iteration of Zendaya as The Flash:
We’ll have to see whether or not Ezra Miller is actually replaced following their upcoming solo film appearance. And while there are numerous actors that could take the part – Zendaya is certainly an interesting choice. Of course, given her current trajectory, it wouldn’t be surprising to see her end up in a superhero role anyways. In the meantime, she’ll likely continue to play the MCU’s MJ.
Fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding The Flash, the upcoming film adaptation, and Zendaya’s career as we have them. For now, we’ll just have to enjoy this interpretation and see what will happen in the near future.
