Directed by Luca Guadagnino (Bones and All;
Suspiria) and written by Justin Kuritzkes, Challengers stars
Zendaya as Tashi, a tennis coach whose husband Art (Mike Faist) is a tennis champion having a bad run. When Art is drawn against
Patrick (Josh O'Connor), his former best friend and his wife's
ex-lover, the trio's past creates fresh tension.
Challengers is in UK/ROI cinemas from September 15th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, 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 will it cost to win.
