Amazon MGM Studios has released the final trailer for Challengers, starring 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 present collide and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself what it will cost to win. In addition to the trailer, you can also watch a featurette on the film’s music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers is rated R for language throughout, some sexual content, and graphic nudity. The drama will open in theaters on Friday, April 26, 2024.
Guadagnino directed the movie from a script by Justin Kuritzkes. Amy Pascal, Luca Guadagnino, Zendaya, and Rachel O’Connor produced it.
Bernard Bellew, Lorenzo Mieli, and Kevin Ulrich are the executive producers. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composed the music.
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).
