The director Jon Watts even recommended Zendaya to take inspiration from the fictional character Daria who is portrayed as a smart and cynical girl in American ninety’s Sitcom “Daria” in order to play the Michelle’s character.
When Zendaya met with her male co-star Tom Holland, the one thing she was mainly concerned about was her height difference with him as she was 5 feet and 10 inches while Tom Holland was 5 feet and 8 inches. But in the end all her worries vanished when she did the audition with him.
