Working in the entertainment business in 2016 makes it difficult to operate on social media, in interviews, or anywhere in the public eye for that matter — especially when you’re playing a key role in an upcoming super hero flick.
For young actress Zendaya, the experience was on display during an appearance on Good Morning America this week. The actress was on hand to promote a new magazine cover but, of course, the topic of her upcoming portrayal of unnamed character suspected to be a new take on Mary Jane in Marvel Studios‘ Spider-Man: Homecoming came about.

Zendaya quickly shut the conversation down, though.
“It’s very exciting,” Zendaya said. “I can’t say anything because I’m not gonna get in trouble! I’m not gonna be that person that gets in trouble but I can say it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”
When asked if she knows the plot of the entire film or only her own scenes, Zendaya remained tightlipped.
“It’s a very tight situation,” the actress said. “They can’t let anything out. It’s Spider-Man! You know? I’m not gonna get in trouble!”
