Movie lovers were thrown into confusion after Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s wedding-themed announcement on social media.
The Euphoria star, 29, shared an Instagram photo of herself in the lap of the Batman star, showing off a flashy engagement ring.
The text over the photo reads: ‘You are cordially invited to The Drama, written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli. Save the date, April 3’, with the caption joking that a ‘formal invitation [is] to follow’.
However, for fans not looking closely enough, the understated first look at the newly announced A24 movie featuring the two Hollywood stars as our leads did leave some doing a double-take.
Given Zendaya’s high-profile engagement to Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland, some thought it was a public invite to their actual wedding – and wondered why Robert was there rather than the man of the hour.
‘Why I thought this was you and Tom’s wedding invitation for a second,’ itschristiangray wrote on Instagram.
‘I didn’t see that this was a movie and I got so confused I was like “that’s not Tom Holland”, but it’s ok,’ elyc2009 added.
‘I WAS SO CONFUSED,’ evidablade commented.
‘Girl I thought u were engaged to Robert Pattinson,’ das2muchh said.
‘I thought we were getting invited to the wedding omg,’ myasophia shared.
‘The pose and the ring caught me off guard,’ maisha_zepho agreed.
‘Took me a while to realise that it’s Robert Pattinson,’ iateyourbiryani joked.
‘Girl we thought you were engaged to spiderman not batman,’ likaydaa joked.
But once people got over the confusion and with the programme – there has mainly been excitement.
‘Dear God, I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I’m just so happy to be alive in this generation,’ jakiah_417 declared.
‘Well this is everything,’ kyramerritt echoed.
‘The Zendaya 2026 takeover begins now!’ chuuzus posted.
The plot of the actual movie is being kept under wraps, with Variety reporting it is about a romance that ‘takes an unexpected turn before the big day.’
This marks the first project the pair will be on together, but not the last. Both have also been cast in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, an epic which will land in cinemas in July 2026, as well as Dune: Part Three in December.
As for Zendaya’s real-life engagement, the couple is maintaining their stance of keeping their private life away from the public spotlight, so not much is known about their wedding plans.
The Challengers’ star was first spotted wearing the ring at the Golden Globes in January, with various people in their lives, including Tom’s dad and Marvel co-star Jacob Batalon, confirming it over the months.
Then, in September, a clip from a panel at The Beverage Forum in April, Tom was heard correcting the interviewer who referred to Zendaya as his ‘girlfriend’ with a quickfire ‘fiancé’.
Whether real or fictional, we’re here for all Zendaya’s milestones, so, like the rest of the globe, we’ll be seated come April 3, 2026.
