Stop casting Zendaya in these kind of roles

Looking at the trailer, there appears to be some sort of love triange, where 2 guys are drooling over Zendaya. There are scenes where Zendaya is wearing lingerie and possibly kissing / having sex with one or both men

But the issue is that Zendaya has no credibility in this sort of role. The viewer cannot see 2 guys fighting for her, nor do viewers wish to see her in lingerie. They need another girl who can arouse those thoughts in viewers

There was a scene where the guys were stood mouths open saying she was the most beautiful woman on the planet.

I found a giant monkey fighting a dinosaur more believable

I did laugh when, towards the beginning, one of the guys says he's met "the most beautiful woman in the world" and then the cut to Zendaya. It made me wonder if she helped write the script. She's cute, like millions of other women, but that's as far as I'll go. There's so little of her that I couldn't imagine two studly guys agreeing to a 3-some with her. Also, I could not accept for one minute that she has the physique of a tennis star. All this would not matter in a really good movie, but this was not that.

It appears that you're missing the point that part of her attraction was how she played tennis. Don't forget all three were passionate about tennis. The men were turned on by the way she moved on the tennis court and even mentioned her amazing playing.
