Why Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s new movie already has fans swooning

Met Gala: Zendaya suits up in all white
Fashion icon Zendaya suits up in all white for the Met Gala 2025 red carpet.
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have had their fair share of onscreen romances, but their newest film could make them rom-com royalty.
The award-winning actors teased their upcoming film, the A24 romantic comedy “The Drama,” with a movie poster shared on Zendaya’s Instagram page Tuesday, Dec. 9.
The poster shows Zendaya, 29, cozied up next to Pattinson, 39, as the “Twilight” alum wraps his arm around her for a photo. The “Challengers” star, whose character is seemingly engaged to Pattinson, softly smiles for the camera as she shows off a sparkly ring by placing her hand on her chest.
“THE DRAMA. Formal invitation to follow,” Zendaya coyly captioned the post.
The film, written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, tells the story of a “happily engaged couple,” whose union is “put to the test when an unexpected revelation sends their wedding week off the rails,” according to the film’s IMDb page.
Aside from Zendaya and Pattinson, “The Drama” will feature Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, Michael Abbott Jr., Hailey Gates, Sydney Lemmon and others.
