'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'The Odyssey' turn Zendaya and Tom Holland into Hollywood's most successful power couple.
Los Angeles: Hollywood sensation Zendaya has taken the global box office by storm, creating history in 2026 by becoming the highest-grossing actress of the year. With her blockbuster releases earning nearly $2 billion (approximately ₹16,000 crore) worldwide, the actress has cemented her status as one of the biggest stars in modern cinema.
From her humble beginnings as a Disney Channel child actor to becoming a global entertainment icon, Zendaya's rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. This year, she dominated theatres across the world with two massive hits—"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and Christopher Nolan's epic "The Odyssey."
In an exciting twist for fans, Zendaya shared the screen with her husband, actor Tom Holland, in both films. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" delivered a phenomenal $927 million worldwide during its opening weekend, while "The Odyssey" crossed $911 million globally within just three weeks of release, making both films among the biggest blockbusters of the year.
The unprecedented success of these two films has also crowned Zendaya and Tom Holland as Hollywood's highest-grossing celebrity couple of 2026. Their combined star power helped fuel one of the biggest box office weekends ever recorded in North America, setting a new benchmark for theatrical success.
Industry analysts believe the record-breaking run is far from over. With "Dune: Part Three" expected to hit theatres later this year, Zendaya is poised to extend her dominance and potentially rewrite even more box office records before 2026 comes to a close.
If the momentum continues, 2026 could go down as the most successful year of Zendaya's career—and one of the greatest box office performances ever achieved by a Hollywood actress.
