Okay, so summer 2026 is totally shaping up to be the season of Tom Holland and Zendaya – seriously, they’re the biggest young couple in Hollywood right now! They both have huge movies coming out in July, but what’s even more amazing is that these two films are just part of what’s going to be a record-breaking year for Zendaya with all her releases.
Tom Holland and Zendaya are starring in Christopher Nolan’s new film based on The Odyssey at the same time as the release of Brand New Day, the fourth Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They first worked together on the original Spider-Man film in 2017, and after nine years, their combined success is predicted to make this summer’s box office records-breaking.
Christopher Nolan’s new film, Odyssey, is expected to be 2026’s biggest box office success thanks to a long run in theaters, including IMAX showings worldwide. Spider-Man: Brand New Day also has strong potential, building on the huge success of previous Spider-Man movies, No Way Home and Far From Home, which together earned over $3 billion.
Tom Holland’s work as Spider-Man in several Marvel movies has already made him incredibly successful, potentially placing him among the top ten highest-earning movie actors ever. Now, teaming up with his partner Zendaya could lead to even greater box office achievements for both of them.
Tom Holland & Zendaya Are Set To Become The Highest-Grossing Couple In Movie History
Zendaya and Tom Holland are a hugely successful couple, both in their relationship and their careers. Together, they’ve starred in three Spider-Man movies that have earned nearly $4 billion worldwide – a record no other acting couple has ever approached.
Considering all of their individual films plus the movies they’ve made together, Zendaya and Tom Holland have generated over $11.2 billion at the box office worldwide. This impressive total ranks them second among acting couples for combined box office earnings.
| Tom Holland & Zendaya’s Highest-Grossing Movies | Starring | Box Office Takings |
|---|---|---|
| Avengers: Endgame (2019) | Tom Holland | $2.80 billion |
| Avengers: Infinity War (2018) | Tom Holland | $2.05 billion |
| Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) | Tom Holland & Zendaya | $1.92 billion |
| Captain America: Civil War (2016) | Tom Holland | $1.15 billion |
| Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) | Tom Holland & Zendaya | $1.13 billion |
| Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) | Tom Holland & Zendaya | $880 million |
| Dune: Part Two (2024) | Zendaya | $715 million |
| The Greatest Showman (2017) | Zendaya | $435 million |
| Dune (2021) | Zendaya | $411 million |
| Uncharted (2022) | Tom Holland | $407 million |
Dutch films have earned almost $6.6 billion at the box office since 2017, not including the popular Spider-Man movies. Plus, Zendaya’s films where she doesn’t star alongside her partner have brought in about $1.6 billion (according to MovieWeb).
Even if The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day perform only half as well as expected in theaters, they’re still on track to become the highest-grossing movie pairing of all time. While recent weeks have been filled with rumors about a possible wedding for Tom Holland and Zendaya, they’re almost certain to have another big reason to celebrate this summer.
Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Are The Current Box-Office Record-Holders For An Acting Couple
Zendaya and Tom Holland are aiming to surpass Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as the biggest celebrity couple to meet on a movie set. Jolie and Pitt first became a couple while filming the popular 2005 action movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which earned nearly $500 million at the box office and was a major hit at the time.
While their initial film together was notable, the relationship between Jolie and Pitt became much more famous. They were a couple for eleven years before separating in 2016, when Jolie filed for divorce. Together, their films earned approximately $13 billion worldwide (according to The Hollywood Reporter).
Although Zendaya and Tom Holland have earned a lot through their movies, Jolie and Pitt still lead by a significant amount – around $1.8 billion. However, this difference doesn’t seem as large as it appears and could potentially be closed.
With projected box office numbers for both The Odyssey and Brand New Day, Holland and Zendaya’s films are on track to reach $1.8 billion faster than any of their previous movies. However, many box office records held by other famous Hollywood couples will still be up for grabs.
This couple still has a ways to go before they surpass some legendary on-screen pairings. For instance, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, both appeared in at least eleven movies together.
The Odyssey And Spider-Man: Brand New Day Could Be The Summer’s Biggest Movies
With Zendaya and Tom Holland already established as one of the most successful acting couples, it’s interesting to consider which of their new summer movies will perform best in theaters. However, The Odyssey and Brand New Day aren’t the only big hits expected this summer.
Before hitting cinemas, Toy Story 5 will be released, and Minions & Monsters, the newest Despicable Me prequel, will follow shortly after. Then, Disney’s live-action remake of Moana, featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is scheduled to come out.
DC Comics is hoping to compete with the success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day with their new Supergirl series, starring Milly Alcock and produced by James Gunn. Adding to the summer movie competition, Steven Spielberg is returning with his first UFO film since E.T., titled Disclosure Day, which will be released on June 12th – just five weeks before Christopher Nolan’s new movie hits theaters.
Throughout July and August, The Odyssey and Brand New Day are expected to be the biggest movies in theaters. This is largely due to the popularity of stars Tom Holland and Zendaya, who haven’t appeared together in a film for five years and are now at the height of their careers.
Additionally, three of Christopher Nolan’s recent films have each earned over $1 billion, despite The Odyssey generating even more excitement beforehand. Similarly, the Spider-Man movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe consistently perform exceptionally well in theaters.
Zendaya’s Historic 2026 Box-Office Run Will Continue With Dune: Part Three
Zendaya is set to star in Dune: Part Three in 2026, continuing her success at the box office. The Dune films are already among her most profitable projects, with the first two installments performing exceptionally well, and this third film is expected to follow suit. This role will likely surpass even the success of her partner, Tom Holland, in terms of box office revenue.
2026 is shaping up to be an incredible year for Zendaya. She’s not only starring in the new dark romantic comedy The Drama with Robert Pattinson, but she’s also leading the final season of the popular show Euphoria. After all this, it’s likely she’ll take a break from work in 2027.
Tom Holland doesn’t currently have any projects planned for next year. After finishing their work in 2026, he and his partner might take some time to celebrate their successes, especially with films like The Odyssey and Brand New Day.
