Fans are wondering whether The Boys Season 4 features a cameo appearance from Zendaya. They also want to know why Zendaya is Webweaver‘s safeword. After multiple brief teases in the previous seasons and the initial episodes of Season 4, the latest episode finally features Webweaver in the flesh, with Hughie eventually taking his costume and using it to infiltrate Tek Knight‘s party in an attempt to discern Homelander and Sister Sage’s master plans.
Here’s everything you need to know if Zendaya has a cameo in The Boys Season 4 and if Webweaver’s safeword is Zendaya.
Does Zendaya have a cameo in The Boys Season 4 Episode 6?
No, Zendaya does not have a cameo in The Boys Season 4 Episode 6.
The latest episode includes a subtle reference to actress Zendaya. Her name serves as the safe word established between Webweaver and Tek Knight, previously mentioned by the latter. During the episode, Tek Knight attempts to elicit the safe word from someone he believes to be Webweaver, unaware that it’s Hughie in disguise.
Hughie’s inability to provide the correct response raises suspicion. Later, as Hughie prepares to leave Tek Knight’s hideout, known as the Tek-Cave, Elijah confirms the safe word is indeed Zendaya’s name.
Why was Webweaver’s safe word ‘Zendaya’?
Webweaver’s safe word, “Zendaya,” might be a creator-inserted easter egg. The name Webweaver is a clear reference to Spider-Man and the mention of Zendaya is likely a reference to the fact that the love interest of the MCU’s Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, is played by Zendaya.
Additionally, Tom Holland himself revealed in a 2021 Buzzfeed Celeb interview that he was a fan of The Boys. However, it remains to be seen whether Holland or Zendaya herself will comment on the name drop in the episode or make any appearances in the series.
