As per the report, Zendaya wasn't very impressed by the new scripts of Euphoria Season 3 coming her way. She suggested that her character Rue, now a sober 20-something-year-old becomes a pregnancy surrogate. However, the suggestion was vetoed by the makers as they felt didn't go with the show's tone.

In a recent chat, Denis Villeneuve claimed that Zendaya has a keen sense of direction, as he gathered from the sets of Dune: Part Two. “There's someone that spent a lot of time behind the camera listening – Zendaya. She's very clever. I would not be surprised if one day we learn she wants to go behind (the camera),” he said.
