Amy Pascal, 68, has a pattern she repeats every time she chooses the new Spider-Man: she sits the leads down separately and asks them, please, not to fall in love with each other. She told Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. She told Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. And in 2017 she told Tom Holland and Zendaya, newly cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
None of them listened to her. Not a single one. Holland and Zendaya met during screen tests, confirmed their romance in 2021 after being photographed kissing, and over the years ended up getting married.
“I make that request of all of them, but they never listen to me”, Pascal told Variety while promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Three generations, the same warning, the same ending. 🕸️
