“Hell yeah!”: That’s the feeling Zendaya got when she unleashed on John David Washington while playing one half of the title couple in Sam Levinson’s Malcolm & Marie, Netflix’s buzzy two-hander about a filmmaker, his partner, and the night that will change their relationship forever.
As Marie, the muse for Washington’s filmmaker’s acclaimed new movie, Zendaya – working with her Euphoria creator and close friend, Levinson – gets to channel some deep anger, something the star said was a challenge, but ultimately “therapeutic.”
Sitting down with Rotten Tomatoes Editor Jacqueline Coley, Zendaya also opened up about similarities between Marie an Rue, her troubled addict from HBO’s Euphoria; Washington talked imperfect love; and Levinson recalled bored-at-home text exchange that inspired what many believe will be a major film come awards season.
Malcolm & Marie is available on Netflix from February 4.
