'Challengers' Starring Zendaya Set for April 2024 Release After Delay

Luca Guadagnino's latest film features a love triangle in the world of professional tennis, with the cast undergoing intensive training for their roles.

  • Zendaya stars in Luca Guadagnino's steamy sports drama 'Challengers,' set to hit theaters on April 26, 2024.
  • The film features a scandalous love triangle involving Zendaya's character, Tashi Duncan, and two other tennis players, played by Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist.
  • 'Challengers' was delayed from its original 2023 release due to the writers' and actors' guild strikes but is now anticipated to benefit from lighter competition at the box office.
  • The cast underwent intensive tennis and physical training for the film, with no body doubles used for Zendaya in the final cut of the tennis scenes.
  • Director Luca Guadagnino describes the characters in 'Challengers' as 'beautifully complex and really fucked-up people' he loves very much.
