Zendaya cast as Ronnie Spector in A24's upcoming biopic.

In news that truly warms my heart like nothing else today, it's been announced that Zendaya has been cast as Ronnie Spector in A24's upcoming film about her life, which will be produced by Marc Platt, with Zendaya also serving as a co-producer.

In the same way that Aretha Franklin championed Jennifer Hudson to play her in the upcoming biopic, 'Respect', The Ronettes frontwoman Spector personally chose Zendaya to portray her in her early years.
