Zendaya made her feature film debut as Michelle in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was released in July 2017.^[59] Zendaya wore no makeup to her screen test, a decision that was carried through in production, and "add[ed] her own embellishments to the role, such as carrying around a mug of herbal tea".^[60] Zendaya described the character as "very dry, awkward, intellectual".^[61] She added that it was "refreshing" that Michelle was weird and different, feeling that "a lot of young people—especially young women—can relate to that."^[62] The film grossed $117 million in its first weekend, ranking number one at the box office.^[63] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter praised her as a "scene stealer",^[64] while David Ehrlich of IndieWire called her the film's "MVP", despite her brief screen time.^[65] In August, Zendaya appeared in the music video for the song "Versace on the Floor" by Bruno Mars.^[66]

In 2019, Zendaya began starring in the HBO drama series Euphoria, an adaptation of the Israeli series of the same name, as Rue, a 17-year-old drug addict and the narrator of the series.^[74] The series premiered on June 16, 2019, to positive critical reception, with her performance receiving acclaim: Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian wrote that "Zendaya is reinvented as the self-destructive, self-loathing Rue, in what is a truly astonishing, mesmerising performance, upending every expectation of what she could do";^[75] Doreen St. Felix of The New Yorker echoed the sentiment writing: "It becomes difficult, and then absolutely silly, to recall the pink outlines of her early career on the Disney Channel, so grandly does she inhabit this dark new role. She understands the neediness of her character: that Rue, at heart, wants nothing more than to be loved; that her chemical cravings work in service of a spiritual one".^[76] Also in 2019, Zendaya reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Far from Home.^[77] Critic Christy Lemire called Zendaya's portrayal "darkly alluring" and praised her "humorous, deadpan charm".^[78] The film was a commercial success, becoming the fourth highest-grossing release of the year.^[79]^[80] At the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards in 2020, Zendaya won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, becoming the youngest winner of the award at the age of 24.^[81]

Zendaya next voiced the character of Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy.^[89] She accepted Coogler's offer to star in the film because of her interest in working with Coogler and being a fan of the original 1996 film.^[90] Growing up with the first film since childhood, Zendaya drew on her experiences with her family's love of basketball for the role.^[91] Zendaya played Chani in Denis Villeneuve's science fiction film Dune, the first part of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name.^[92] Critic Glenn Kenny dubbed her portrayal "better than apt", while Brian Lowry of CNN noted that her role was limited to "gauzy images" in the protagonist's visions.^[93]^[94] Zendaya reprised her role as MJ for the third time in Spider-Man: No Way Home. RogerEbert.com's Brian Tallerico praised Zendaya and Tom Holland's chemistry as well as her execution of MJ's "emotional final beats".^[95]

Nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama for the second time, she became the youngest two-time nominee in Emmy history, while her nomination as an executive producer for Outstanding Drama Series made her the youngest woman ever nominated for producing. She also received two nominations for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for her lyrical contributions to the show's soundtrack.^[96] In 2023, Zendaya won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama at the 80th Golden Globe Awards and received a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination for her work in Euphoria.^[97]^[98]

Zendaya made an appearance in the Elvis Mitchell's documentary Is That Black Enough For You?!?^[99] During the second weekend of Coachella 2023, she joined Labrinth in a surprise performance of "All for Us" and "I'm Tired", which marked her first return to the stage in 8 years.^[100]^[101] She was featured on the opening song "The Feels" of Labrinth's third album Ends & Begins.^[102] Zendaya next appeared in the documentary film Invisible Beauty, based on work of American fashion model and activist Bethann Hardison.^[103]
