Entertainment outlet Collider has published a retrospective ranking all 13 of Zendaya's feature films, from worst to best, tracing her rise from Disney Channel star to one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation. The list excludes her Emmy-winning television work on Euphoria, focusing solely on her film career, which spans everything from animated comedy to prestige drama.

At the bottom of the ranking sits Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021), in which Zendaya voices Lola Bunny, criticised by the writers as an overlong, reference-heavy misfire that squanders its cast. Next up is The Greatest Showman (2017), the musical in which she plays Anne Wheeler, praised for its performances and choreography despite mixed reviews overall. The piece goes on to rank the remaining films, highlighting standout performances such as her role in the Dune franchise, though the fuller ranking beyond these entries was not available in the supplied text.
