A24 added to the excitement by posting a mock engagement announcement featuring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson. The black-and-white photo shows the actors posing as an engaged couple, offering more insight into their characters. The fictional newspaper clipping reads, “Mr and Mrs Harwood of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, announce the engagement of their daughter, Emma Harwood, to Charlie Thompson, son of Mr and Mrs Alan Thompson of London, England.”
It continues, “Miss Harwood is a 2013 graduate of Portside High School and a 2017 honors graduate of Boston University where she earned her B.A. degree in English. She is currently employed at Mission Books.” The announcement also notes, “The future groom, Mr Thompson, was a 2004 graduate of Eaton College and went on to earn his Ph.D. in Art History from Tufts University.
