“In just a few short years, Zendaya has captured audiences’ attention with her compassionate performance on the small screen as Rue in ‘Euphoria’ and has drawn audiences in on the big screen with her performances in ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’, ‘The Greatest Showman’ and ‘Dune’. We could not be more honored to present Zendaya with this year’s CinemaCon Star of the Year Award,” said Neuhauser, reported Variety.
