Actor: Zendaya

Zendaya came from the Disney Channel and moved into film with the Spider-Man series and Dune, playing MJ and Chani respectively, both roles that expanded considerably across sequels.

Challengers gave her a producing credit and her most adult film role, and she has become a significant fashion figure alongside the acting.
