Challengers is a film by visionary director Luca Guadagnino, featuring Zendaya in the role of Tashi Duncan, a former talented tennis player who has become a coach. Tashi is a strong woman who holds her own both on and off the tennis court and is married to a tennis champion going through a rough patch (Mike Faist – West Side Story). Tashi's efforts to help her husband bounce back take a surprising turn when he has to face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O'Connor – The Crown), his former best friend and Tashi's ex. As matters from their past lead to escalating tensions, Tashi is forced to question what price must be paid for victory.
Oscar and BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name”, “I Am Love”) directs Challengers from a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes. Golden Globe winner Zendaya (''Dune'', “Euphoria”) shines alongside BAFTA-nominated Golden Globe and SAG Award winner Josh O’Connor (“The Crown”) and BAFTA-nominated Mike Faist (“West Side Story”).
