Pascal said that she warned the actors in 2016 before filming the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" to not date to keep their chemistry on-screen, Us Weekly reported.
"I took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture," Pascal said. The producer said that they told the actors "Don't go there [dating] - just don't. Try not to."
Tom Holland and Zendaya were not the only stars who starred in the "Spider-Man" franchise, whom Pascal gave advice about not dating.
In the interview, the producer underscored that other stars such as Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who played Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey in "The Amazing Spider-Man" in 2012, were also warned to not date while they were filming.
