Zendaya, Josh O’connor, and Mike Faist
Director Luca Guadagnino has built a loyal fanbase after releasing two Timothée Chalamet-led films: 2017’s Call Me by Your Name and 2022’s Bones and All. Now the director is pivoting to tennis (as a subject matter at least), having enlisted Zendaya and West Side Story’s Mike Faist to star. Challengers centers around three tennis players, Tashi (Zendaya), her husband Art (Faist), and Patrick (Josh O’Connor), Tashi’s ex-boyfriend and Art’s former best friend. The three have all known each other since they were teenagers, and Tashi, a player turned coach, sets out to help her husband become a champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a “Challenger” event— close to the lowest level of tournament on the pro tour—where he finds himself standing across the net from the once-promising, now-burned-out Patrick.
Starring: En Mirren, Orlando Schwerdt, and Ariella Glaser
