Zendaya to Channel Ultimate 60s Icon Ronnie Spector in A24 Biopic—Because, Of Course, She Can Do Everything

Buy Me A Coffee

Zendaya is about to serve us 60s glam, powerhouse vocals, and possibly the best winged eyeliner in cinematic history.

The Euphoria queen, fashion icon, and your favorite person to follow on Instagram (don’t lie) has officially signed on to play Ronnie Spector, the legendary co-founder of The Ronettes, in an A24 biopic titled Be My Baby. And before you ask—yes, she’s producing too, because multitasking is just what she does.

A24 and Barry Jenkins? We’re Already Crying.
This cinematic masterpiece-in-the-making will be directed by Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-winning genius behind Moonlight. If you’re wondering, “Will this make me cry?”, the answer is: absolutely.

The script is being penned by David Kajganich (Bones and All), which means we should prepare for a story that’s gripping, emotional, and, knowing A24, probably has stunning lighting.

Ronnie Spector Herself Picked Zendaya—Because Duh.
Before her passing in early 2022, Ronnie Spector handpicked Zendaya to play her. Let that sink in. One of the most iconic voices in music history looked at Zendaya and thought, Yep, she’s the one. Imagine having that kind of main-character energy.

Ronnie and The Ronettes practically invented girl-group coolness in the late 1950s, dropping absolute bangers like Be My Baby and (The Best Part of) Breakin’ Up. And if you’re wondering, “Wait, why did she break up?”, well—her marriage to producer Phil Spector ended in 1974 after she described years of psychological torment in her 1990 memoir. (Yeah, yikes.)

A24 + Zendaya + Barry Jenkins = TAKE OUR MONEY.
A24 already gave us Zendaya magic with Euphoria, and they’re about to do it again with her upcoming film The Drama. At this point, it’s scientifically impossible for an A24-Zendaya project to miss.

So, grab your tissues, fix your eyeliner, and start humming Be My Baby—because Zendaya is about to give us the Ronnie Spector biopic we deserve.
