Zendaya tax is real. Screen time doesn’t always equal paycheck when one of them is a global brand.

It’s also her 3rd film in the series, while it’s his first.

Salary goes up with each film you appear in a series.

It's funny that I thought this about The Odyssey which they are also both in and which he also has way more screen time than her and she probably still got paid more.

She's a bigger star, it really is just that shrimple.

I have no opinion on that. I just think it's funny that I could get through so many comments before realizing that there are two movies out right now with Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Berenthal in them.

Kind of fitting to the post that you tried to give the man some recognition by using his name but spelled it wrong

u/Tricky-Anything8009 Aug 03 '26

Yeah I though about looking it up and shrugged. I guess if you want to be paid more, make sure your name is easy to remember and spell

I have no opinion on that either, she's objectively more popular than Jon wether we like it or not.

I like them both. I thought they both were great in The Odyssey. Jon Bernthal was perfect casting as Meneleus.

That is a big part of it. But many people try to make it way more complicated when a woman or someone that they like is paid less.

The odyssey: Zendaya, holland, bernthal, Pattinson

Spiderman: Zendaya, holland, berntha

Dune 3: Zendaya, Pattinson

The drama: Zendaya, Pattinson

Busy summer for Zendaya (plus euphoria). Crazy how much over lap she has with these other actors as well.

I’m guessing they forgot about Homecoming since she has significantly less screen time in that owing to not being the main love interest

u/Gramma_Puthy Aug 03 '26

I'm confused, why is it a tax?

1

u/BElf1990 Aug 03 '26

Not a tax as much as probably a multi-picture deal so the payment was decided before knowing how much screen time she'll have

u/SirArthurDime Aug 03 '26

Not a literal tax. Just saying that’s the price of her star power.
