The sentiment aligns with earlier interviews Berry has given in the past few years where she expressed a desire to collaborate with Zendaya, calling her a future superstar and someone she deeply respects as an actor. Zendaya, 29, has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand talents, known for her work on Euphoria, Dune: Part Two and leading roles in major studio projects.

Reactions reflect a mix of excitement and playful speculation from fans, many agreeing that Berry and Zendaya would make a charismatic on-screen pairing despite the age difference, Berry is 59 while Zendaya is in her late 20s. (Some commenters even imagined entirely new story concepts for a potential project, ranging from dramatic family narratives to off-beat genre ideas.

As of now, there’s no official news of any project pairing the two actresses, but Berry’s enthusiastic endorsement has certainly kept the idea alive among fan communities and industry watchers alike.
