Challengers

If you're curious to see Zendaya play in a sports-themed romantic drama, this film won't disappoint! She stars alongside two charismatic actors, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist, in a story filled with competitive tension and heart.

Initially set for a September 2023 release, "Challengers" faced delays but finally made its debut in April 2024 under the direction of Luca Guadagnino. It's about a wife who strives to revive her husband's career—he's a renowned tennis star struggling to regain his form.

Tashi (Zendaya) is a celebrated tennis player turned coach, who has successfully guided her husband, Art (Mike Faist), to the zenith of his tennis career. Despite his past triumphs, Art has recently experienced a string of losses that have marred his record.

In a bid to restore Art's former brilliance, Tashi convinces him to compete in a minor "Challenger" tournament. This event pits him against a slew of skilled young players, including his old acquaintance Patrick Zweig, who also happens to be Tashi’s ex-lover.
