Zendaya jokes: Malcolm and Marie may not be the best movie to watch on Valentine’s Day as she shares snapshots of intense drama
She stars with John David Washington in the Netflix film Malcolm & Marie.
And on Sunday, Zendaya shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the rehearsal while joking about how intense drama might not be the best choice for couples celebrating Valentine’s Day.
‘Marie’s Happy Valentine’s Day (if you’re watching our movie tonight with your better half … excuse us),’ she posted on her Instagram.

Malcolm & Marie is the work of actress’ Euphoria director Sam Levinson.
Zendaya plays a filmmaker’s girlfriend, played by Washington, and the intimate drama accompanies the couple as they examine their relationship over the course of an evening.
The 24-year-old actress served as a producer on the project and has been diligent in promoting it as much as she can on her social networks.
“This is my first time as a protagonist, but also my first time that I am creatively involved in something, producing something, co-financing something, owning something and sharing everything with my team,” she explained in a recent GMA interview.

The film was shot for 14 days last summer with a crew of just 22 people.
It was also done in black and white, something that Zendaya says gives it a certain ‘timelessness’.
“It was also thought to recover the black and white Hollywood narrative and the black actors really having their time at that time,” she said on ABC’s morning show.
“Many filmmakers have done this before, many black filmmakers, so it’s not necessarily a new idea, but we wanted to pay tribute to that time and regain that beauty and elegance with these two black actors,” she added.
