Many people are talking about it online.
Some viewers think Zendaya always plays the same character and makes the same face.
They believe she gets big Hollywood roles because of her looks, not her talent.
Other viewers disagree and say Zendaya is a great actress.
They point to her show Euphoria, where she shows very deep emotions.
Supporters call her one of the best young actresses of the 21st century.
