The Spider-Man reboot gets its first leading lady

We have yet to see so much as a still of Tom Holland's new Spider-Man, who will be making his debut in next month's Captain America: Civil War. However, we now have some more information on who he'll be sharing the screen with in Spidey's new solo film.

Deadline is reporting that actress-singer Zendaya has landed a role in Jon Watts' Spider-Man reboot. Exactly who she's playing is a closely guarded secret, and while earlier reports stated that she was going to play a major part in the film, according to Variety it isn't a lead role and she won't be Peter Parker's love interest.
