“Spider-Man” producer Amy Pascal admitted that she and Kevin Feige didn’t know who Zendaya was when she auditioned for the role of MJ in the Tom Holland iteration of the films.
Pascal revealed this in a cover story for Vogue out Tuesday that features the actress, who has pivoted off the press tour for “Dune: Part Two” to promote her upcoming film “Challengers” directed by Luca Guadagnino.
“To be honest with you, neither Kevin Feige nor I knew who she was,” Pascal said. “She was wearing no makeup and she was just dressed like a regular girl, and we were like, ‘Oh my God, she’s amazing.
