Spider-Man<\/a> stars Tom Holland and Zendaya may be happily married now, but the producer behind the franchise says she once warned them not to date.<\/p>\n

The pair, who play Peter Parker and MJ, began dating after being cast in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming \u2014 despite Amy Pascal advising them not to pursue a romance. Holland confirmed last month that the couple had tied the knot<\/a> in a private ceremony.<\/p>\n

Pascal said she gave the same warning to The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who began a relationship while filming the 2012 movie. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst also dated after starring in the earlier Spider-Man films.<\/p>\n

“I say this to all of them, and no one ever listens to me,” the producer told Variety<\/a> at the premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>, the fourth movie in the rebooted series<\/a>. She added that Holland and Zendaya are “pretty happy together.”<\/p>\n

In a separate interview with the BBC<\/a>, she said: “Tobey and Kirsten dated, and Andrew and Emma \u2014 and MJ and Peter just always fall in love. There’s nothing you can do about it.”<\/p>\n

Pascal first shared the story in a 2021 interview with the New York Times<\/a>, revealing that she “took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture. Don’t go there \u2014 just don’t. Try not to. I gave the same advice to Andrew and Emma. It can just complicate things, you know? And they all ignored me.”<\/p>\n

Holland confirmed the pair’s marriage last month after speculation sparked by AI-generated wedding photos circulating online. Asked whether he had to reassure family members the images weren’t real, Holland joked that he didn’t because “they were all there.”<\/p>\n

He also revealed how he and Zendaya supported each other off-camera. “Our business can present very stressful situations, and it’s really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time,” he told Esquire<\/a>. “So, for me, I found my person. She’s my best friend, and I’m the happiest I ever have been when I’m with her, but I also have never felt so supported and safe, ever. Period.”<\/p>\n

The actor has since casually referred to Zendaya as his “wife” in several interviews while promoting Brand New Day. The movie arrives in theaters<\/a> on July 31.<\/p>\n

The pair recently costarred in Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey, marking their first collaboration away from Spider-Man.<\/p>\n
