Zendaya flashes her $200k engagement ring as she enjoys a romantic dog walk with fiancé Tom Holland in Richmond Park
They got engaged over the Christmas holidays after first meeting on the 2016 set of Spider-Man. And Zendaya flashed her dazzling $200k engagement ring during a low-key stroll with her fiancé Tom Holland in Richmond Park on Monday. The couple cut low-key figures for the outing, with Zendaya, 28, opting for a pink knitted jumper and black jorts. While Tom, 29, donned a plain blue top and a pair of black joggers for the stroll. The pair appeared in good sprits as they spent some quality time together outside their busy schedules. The loved-up couple are set to share the screen for the fourth time in Christopher Nolan 's latest highly-anticipated project, after previously playing love interests in three Spider-Man movies. Tom is set to play one of the main roles in The Odyssey, starring as Telemachus, the son of Odysseus - while Matt Damon will take on role of the legendary Greek king of Ithaca. While Zendaya's role has been undisclosed so far, despite her being spotted filming on the Aegadian Isle of Favignana in March, wearing a sleeveless off-white Grecian gown. The Golden Globe winner is rumoured to be playing the Greek goddess Athena, who serves as divine counselor to Odysseus and meddles with gods like her father Zeus in his quest to return home. Others have suggested she will star as Calypso, a nymph who keeps Odysseus captive by force on her island Ogygia for seven years while attempting to make him her immortal husband. There's also a chance she could be playing Nausicaä, the beautiful daughter of King Alcinous who helps Odysseus when he's shipwrecked on her island. Filming for the mythic action epic began in February on location in Greece, Morocco, Italy, Iceland and Los Angeles, with shooting now based in Scotland. The Odyssey is set to become the most expensive project of Nolan's prestigious career, with a reported budget of $250 million, and will also be the first film in history to be shot entirely using brand new IMAX film technology'. He is directing from his own screenplay - based on the epic poem by Homer that dates back to the 8th Century BC and was first published in English in 1614. Anticipation for the mammoth film has already reached a fever pitch, with the incredible cast including a huge number of Hollywood's biggest stars. Anne Hathaway is said to be playing Odysseus' wife and Queen of Ithica, Penelope, whom he's eager to reunite with following a perilous journey back home. While Charlize Theron has been reported to be starring as the witch goddess Circe in the 3000-year-old fantastical tale full of sirens and a cyclops. The star-studded cast also includes the likes of Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Samantha Morton, Will Yun Lee, and Mia Goth. And Universal Pictures gave eager fans the first glimpse at the film in a short teaser clip, attached to screenings of Jurassic World Rebirth earlier this month. The trailer begins with an unknown narrator speaking about the title character Odysseus, who in the original poem is trying to return home to his wife Penelope after his victory in The Trojan War. They begin: 'Darkness. Zeus' law smashed to pieces. I'm without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war. And then, somehow, he won in'. Dramatic footage of the sea crashing against the shore, shows what appears to be a mammoth statue of the famous Trojan Horse. Jon Bernthal's unnamed character is then seen claiming: 'I know nothing of Odysseus, not since Troy', while Tom is seen for the first time as Telemachus, insisting: 'I have to find out what happened to my father. When did you last see him?' While brief shots of the film are shown, Jon's character shouts to the room, 'Who has a story about Odysseus? You? You have a story? Some say he's rich. Some say he's poor. Some said he perished. Some said he's imprisoned'. The trailer ends with an old man laying on pieces of driftwood, presumably Matt as the title character. The Odyssey is scheduled to hit IMAX theaters on July 17, 2026 - just two weeks before Tom and Zendaya will be back for Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31.
