Zendaya and Holland have been out on the town in New York City this week promoting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which they both star in. Holland, 30, recently confirmed the couple tied the knot.
Earlier on Thursday, the Spider-Man star joked that Zendaya’s character in the film, Greek goddess of wisdom and war Athena, could not possibly love Odysseus (Matt Damon), her onscreen love interest.
“Did Athena love Odysseus romantically?” recited Holland, 30, in a new video interview with Wired, reading from submitted questions about the movie and its source material.
“No,” quipped the Spider-Man star, “because she’s married to me.”
In Zendaya’s Wednesday appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she opened up about the opportunity to star in the epic film alongside her husband. In the interview, she recalled Holland being offered the role of Telemachus first.

“I was, like, so ready, so excited,” the Euphoria actress shared of debriefing with Holland about his second meeting with the Academy Award-winning director, 55. “And he goes, ‘Read this again,’ and I was like, ‘Why? Like, I just read it — like, we just read it last night,’ and he’s like, ‘Read it again, but with Athena in mind.’”
“And I was like, ‘Yo, stop it right now,’ ” Zendaya quipped, earning applause from the audience.

The story follows the arduous journey of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he makes his way home following 10 years of warfare. The ancient epic also includes appearances from various ancient Greek deities, and has been translated into English over 100 times, according to the outlet.
