A second said, "Zendaya AND Shrek!? Oh you know I'm about to be seated x100."
A third commented, "I didn’t know I needed a Zendaya/Shrek press tour until now."
Zendaya has a busy schedule coming up, as she will also star in Dune: Messiah, the fourth Spider-Man film and season three of Euphoria.
PERSONAL LIFE
The new role comes after Zendaya's engagement to her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland.
The A-list pair got engaged between Christmas and New Year's in one of Zendaya's family homes in the US.
Tom, 28, popped the question in a romantic and intimate setting, sources told TMZ.
The outlet reported the moment was just between the two stars, with no family around to see.
The actor reportedly asked Zendaya's dad, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, for his blessing months before the proposal but waited until the time was right to get down on one knee.
