She is depicted as a smart, snarky classmate of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), and becomes his love interest in the sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), a unique aspect for original characters within the MCU franchise and upon Spider-Man feature films preceding it.[5] She returns in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), helping Peter, Ned, and Doctor Strange to capture multiple villains that have entered their universe from the multiverse. Her romantic involvement in Peter's personal life would eventually be undone due to Strange's casting of a spell that permanently erased the world's memory of Parker's civilian persona, including the loss of his previous bonds he forged with his friends, loved ones, and allies.[6]
The character has received positive reviews, and Zendaya has been praised as a strong female supporting cast member, receiving the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her acting in Far From Home.
