Zendaya, known for her roles in Dune and Spider-Man, is set to collaborate with Alex Garland, the director behind Ex Machina, on a new science fiction project. The film, currently untitled, will be produced by A24, a company recognized for its distinctive and often experimental cinematic endeavors.
Details regarding the plot remain scarce. However, Garland's previous science fiction work has frequently explored themes of human nature through futuristic concepts such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and genetic engineering. Garland is also attached to write and direct an adaptation of Elden Ring for A24.
Garland has previously expressed his affinity for the science fiction genre, stating that it allows for the exploration of significant themes without reservation. "Sci-fi just says, 'Do whatever you want. The bigger the idea, the better. Bring it on,'" he remarked in a past interview, highlighting its freedom to tackle ambitious concepts.
Zendaya's upcoming filmography includes Dune: Part Three, scheduled for release on December 18, the Ronnie Spector biopic Be My Baby, and a voice role in the new Shrek movie.
