Challengers

No one can portray forbidden love and sexual tension as masterfully as Luca Guadagnino, as he already proved with Call Me by Your Name and I Am Love . Now he's taking on a new challenge with Challengers , in which Zendaya stars as tennis phenom Tashi, along with Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist as rival men fighting for her attention. Tashi Duncan, a former talented tennis player who now works as a coach, is a powerful woman who holds her own both on and off the tennis court. She is married to Art (Mike Faist – West Side Story ), a tennis champion who is going through a bad period. As Tashi tries to help her husband get back on his feet, their story takes an unexpected turn when he battles his outcast former best friend, Patrick (Josh O'Connor – The Crown ), also Tashi's ex. With tensions from their past resurfacing, Tashi is forced to consider the price to pay for victory. Challengers is a playful, exciting film with an intriguing storyline and strong performances. The complex dynamics of the love triangle create intense tensions and unexpected twists, making it a story about ambition, love and rivalry.
