Challengers is rated R for language throughout, some sexual content, and graphic nudity. The drama is scheduled to open in theaters on April 26, 2024.
Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court.
Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist, West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor, The Crown) – his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.
As their pasts and presents collide and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself what it will cost to win.
Guadagnino directed the movie from a script by Justin Kuritzkes. The producers are Amy Pascal, Luca Guadagnino, Zendaya, and Rachel O’Connor.
The executive producers include Bernard Bellew, Lorenzo Mieli, and Kevin Ulrich. The music is by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Guadagnino made his feature film debut with The Protagonists in 1999 and followed up that film with Melissa P. in 2005. He gained further acclaim with his “Desire” trilogy, which consists of I Am Love (2009), A Bigger Splash (2015), and Call Me by Your Name (2017).
The filmmaker’s most recent credits include Suspiria (2018), the HBO miniseries We Are Who We Are (2020), and Bones and All (2022).
