Did Zendaya Audition For Disney’s Descendents Franchise Many Times? Here’s What Former Vice President Cornelia Frame Reveals

In an interview with the Magical Rewind podcast, Frame mentioned, “Zendaya auditioned for Descendants multiple times, and it was quite significant.” She emphasized, “It was a significant opportunity. She auditioned persistently and was very determined to get it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for her in the end.”

The ex-Vice President remarked, “Reflecting on it now, I find myself wondering, ‘Could Spider-Man have emerged exactly at that moment?’ Life tends to unfold in a particular way, and sometimes, missing one opportunity leads us to another extraordinary event.”

She pointed out that when a chance doesn’t come your way, it might open up another fantastic opportunity instead. When Descendants premiered in 2015, Zendaya was already starring on the Disney Channel series K.C. Undercover, which had made its debut earlier in the year. She continued to act in K.C. Undercover for two more seasons after that.

In this musical fantasy movie, we follow the adventures of the offspring of notorious Disney villains such as Maleficent, the Wicked Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil – all teenagers. This production was a massive hit for Disney Channel, spawning sequels in 2017 and 2019, along with a separate film titled “Descendants: The Rise of Red” on Disney+.

Following her stint with Disney Channel, Zendaya made her appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming (released in 2017). This was followed by Spider-Man: Far from Home (in 2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (in 2021). She has also been part of the Dune film series, and more recently, she starred in Luca Guadagnino’s movie titled Challengers.

In an imaginary Olympic event for celebrity fashion, Law Roach and Zendaya would consistently take home first place. Most recently, they made heads turn at a pre-Olympics event in Paris with a stunning black sequin dress. Then, at another occasion, their outfit hinted strongly towards the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics.

On Roach’s Instagram, Zendaya donned a vintage, multi-hued romper reminiscent of the Olympic rings – white as the base with blue, green, black, yellow, and red accents. She styled it with a casual bun and On Cloud sneakers without laces. Roach titled the post, “The games are about to start… Ready for the @Olympics!”

In a frenzy of admiration, I can’t help but share the astonishing ensemble that graced Zendaya on the red carpet! It was none other than an archival masterpiece from the illustrious Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, hailing from his 2008 Olympics-inspired Sportacus collection, showcased during Paris Fashion Week. Simply breathtaking!
