The film ‘Challengers’, which tells the story of tennis sports, has revealed set photos. In the photo, Zendaya is wearing a sports outfit and the crew is braiding her hair. Judging from Zendaya’s healthy complexion and tight muscles, she has prepared a lot for this role.
The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino and stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist in addition to Zendaya. Guadagnino’s previous films ‘Call Me by Your Name’ and ‘Suspiria’ have received a lot of critical acclaim.
In the film, Zendaya plays the female lead, Tashi, who becomes a tennis player-turned-coach and turns her husband, Art, from a mediocre player into a world-renowned Grand Slam champion.
But Art is now on a losing streak, and to get him back in shape, Tashi has put Art in a lower level challenge.
On that court, Art’s opponent was the now-defunct former star of tomorrow Patrick, Art’s former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend. The old hatred on and off the court ignited a new feud.
Currently, MGM has picked up the rights to the film, with Zendaya, Guadagnino and ‘Spider-Man’ series producer Amy Pascal among those producing, and Justin Kuritzkes’ script having been selected for the 2021 Hollywood Screenplay Blacklist.
According to the plan, the film is scheduled for release on August 11 next year. Into the crowded summer season.
