Netflix Wanted ‘Natural Beauty.’ Zendaya Coleman Wanted a Theatrical Release.

A recent creative debate has emerged between Netflix and Zendaya Coleman over her latest project. While Netflix envisioned a “natural beauty” aesthetic that would bring a raw,

intimate vibe to the story on their platform, Zendaya had her sights set on a theatrical release, believing that the story’s depth and visual elements deserved to be experienced on the big screen.

Netflix’s push for a natural look would focus on authenticity, showcasing Zendaya’s talent with minimal cinematic enhancements. For Zendaya, however, the power of a full theater experience could give audiences an immersive look into her character’s journey.

Known for her visually captivating roles, Zendaya is keen to capture the full intensity of the film’s themes in a way that a theatrical release uniquely allows.
