Come on, it's perfect casting and we all know it.
Although Quentin Tarantino has not yet confirmed what his last movie will be before retiring, there's plenty of rumours and all sorts of theories to go around.
Everything from the long-held 'Star Trek' movie, some kind of horror, to the tantalising prospect of the final chapter in 'Kill Bill'. This has the most legs, not the least of it being that Tarantino himself said he always planned to make a third and would wait until a character aged up.
The character in question is the daughter of Vivica A. Fox's Vernita Green AKA Copperhead. In the first movie, the daughter saw her mother stabbed through the heart by The Bride after a violent fight. Right before The Bride walked away, she tells the daughter to come and find her if she still feels raw about what she did to her mother.
Where Zendaya comes in is that a number of rumours seemed to suggest Zendaya was being pushed into the frame for the role, and in a recent interview with Empire, finally addressed said rumours, which began when Vivica A. Fox suggested her for the role in an interview some time back.
"I was quite honoured that she would say that. Obviously she's incredible, and I'm very flattered that she would think of me. But, you know, it's just an idea. The internet kinda takes things and runs with it," Zendaya said.
To be fair, Zendaya would be the perfect choice for it. For one, she's a rising star with a huge following. She's transitioning to much bigger roles, like in Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune', and you could easily see her doing lots of action and fight scenes. Of course, it all depends on whether Tarantino wants to go back to that particular thread or not.
If we had to pick between that, the 'Star Trek' movie, or a horror, we could go for this every time.
