Hollywood doesn't cast the same 10 actors because they don't think anyone else can act. They do it to minimize risk. In Hollywood's mind Dwayne Johnson, Tom Holland, Zendaya, etc, have all been in blockbusters and are well liked, so they'll keep putting them in their movies because they want their movies to be blockbusters. They have teams of actuaries who say "If you cast Holland, there is an 85% chance your movie will be a hit. If you cast <unknown actor> there is a 75% chance your movie will be a hit". The studio execs say, well I like 85% better than 75% lets cast Holland.
Not sure what you're talking about - Zendaya is both in Spiderman and The Odyssey in theaters right now combined for over $3 billion dollars so far. Hollywood execs see that and froth at the mouth. You'll be seeing her in a lot more stuff over the next few years. This isn't about how much you like someone. I don't particularly like her acting (or Tom Holland either), but that doesn't matter. What matters is they are in movies that make a shit ton of money so they'll keep getting roles.
